Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large sheet pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes until tender.

- Whisk together the whole grain Dijon mustard, maple syrup (or honey), minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh thyme, and paprika to make the glaze.
- After the potatoes have roasted for 20-25 minutes, push them to one side of the pan, and add the asparagus to the empty side. Place the salmon fillets in the center.
- Brush the tops of the salmon with the maple dijon glaze, then season with salt and pepper.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes until the asparagus is fork-tender and the salmon is cooked through.
