This lemon-roasted salmon with escarole, asparagus, and potatoes is a wonderful example of balanced nutrition, bringing together lean protein and seasonal greens.

Jarred roasted peppers add a touch of sweetness and vibrant colour to the dish, making it look as good as it tastes.

Ideal for a light yet satisfying dinner, this recipe combines the ease of roasting with the freshness of a steamed vegetable salad. The addition of salty feta and a honey-dill dressing provides a Mediterranean-inspired finish that ties the earthy potatoes and crisp asparagus together. It is a wholesome, homemade option for anyone looking to enjoy a nutritious meal without spending hours in the kitchen.

How to make Lemon-Roasted Salmon with Escarole, Asparagus, and Potatoes

Preheat oven to 149°C. Place salmon in a baking dish and rub with lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper on all sides, then coat with oil. Arrange peppers around salmon. Bake until salmon is firm but still pink in the centre, about 20 minutes (if you prefer salmon more well done, cook an additional 5 minutes).

Set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with 2" water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until tender, 10–12 minutes. Add asparagus to potatoes, cover, and steam until crisp-tender, 3–5 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup dill in a small bowl or measuring cup. Toss escarole with half of the dressing in a large bowl, then transfer to a serving platter.

Toss potatoes and asparagus with remaining dressing in same bowl, then arrange over escarole. Flake salmon into large pieces and arrange on platter. Top with feta, peppers, and dill sprigs.
