Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil and half of the seasoning mix. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes for 8 minutes.
While the potatoes are roasting, brush the salmon with Dijon mustard and season with salt and pepper.
After 8 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven, push potatoes to one side, and add asparagus. Place the salmon filets in the center.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the salmon and asparagus. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning mix over all.
Roast for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and the potatoes are tender.
Remove from oven, drizzle lemon juice over the salmon and veggies, and serve.
