Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

3.
Sprinkle the Atlantic Salmon Fillet (1 pound) all over with Kosher Salt (1 tablespoon) and Ground Black Pepper (1 tablespoon).
4.
Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the Steak Cut French Fries (28 ounce) (about 20 pieces) in a large mixing bowl and toss with Olive Oil (1 tablespoon), Kosher Salt (1 tablespoon), and Ground Black Pepper (1 tablespoon). Lay out the potatoes on one side of the sheet pan. Place the Asparagus (8 ounce) in the same mixing bowl and toss with Olive Oil, Dried Thyme Leaves (1 teaspoon), Salt, and Pepper. Then place the asparagus spears on the other side of the sheet pan.
5.
Add the Olive Oil (3 tablespoon) to a cast iron pan and place the salmon fillets flat side down. Spoon the brown sugar sauce over the tops of the salmon fillets.
6.
Place the pan of vegetables onto the middle rack of the oven, and roast for 20 minutes.
7.
After 5 minutes, place the pan of salmon in the oven on the top rack and roast for 15 minutes.
8.
Remove both pans from the oven and serve immediately, with a squeeze of Lemon (1) over the asparagus.
