This French-inspired dish brings together perfectly seared salmon with a bright and tangy tomato-dill relish. The relish, made with fresh tomatoes, dill, garlic and red wine vinegar, adds a burst of flavor that complements the rich, crispy-skinned salmon.
Alongside the salmon, you’ll enjoy crispy oven-roasted potatoes and tender sautéed asparagus. A dollop of garlicky Dijon aioli ties everything together, adding a creamy contrast to the vibrant relish. This meal is not only delicious but also packed with protein and vegetables, making it a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Dice tomatoes into ¼-inch pieces. Pick and roughly chop dill fronds. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus. Reserve ¼ tsp garlic powder in a small bowl for later.
- Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, remaining garlic powder, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- In a second small bowl, combine tomatoes, chopped dill, minced garlic, 1 tbsp vinegar and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside, stirring occasionally. In the bowl with reserved garlic powder, add mayonnaise, half the mustard and 1 tsp water. Stir to combine. Set aside.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon skin side down and cook until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate to rest. Wipe out pan.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, 3-5 minutes.
- Divide salmon, asparagus and roasted potatoes between plates. Spoon tomato-dill relish over salmon and asparagus. Serve with aioli on the side.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy salmon skin, make sure the pan is hot before adding the fish and avoid moving it until it’s time to flip.
If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, use less minced garlic in the relish or let it sit for a few minutes to mellow.
The aioli can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

How do I store leftovers?
Store components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the fish.
