Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and hot for roasting.
- Place the salmon fillets and asparagus on a large sheet pan, creating a vibrant canvas of color.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon and asparagus, giving everything a good sheen and ensuring it doesn’t stick to the pan.
- Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, and pepper over the salmon and asparagus, infusing every bite with flavor.
- Place lemon slices on top of the salmon, allowing their bright acidity to meld beautifully during cooking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork – it should be tender and succulent.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done!
Notes
For crispy asparagus, avoid overcrowding the pan. Feel free to substitute asparagus with green beans or broccoli.
