Ingredients

  • •4 fillets (6 oz each) salmon fillets
  • •1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • •2 lemons
  • •3 tablespoons olive oil
  • •4 cloves garlic, minced
  • •1 teaspoon salt
  • •1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • •1 teaspoon fresh dill

Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2Arrange asparagus on the sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 8 minutes.
  3. 3Remove sheet from oven, push asparagus to the sides, and place salmon fillets in the center skin-side down.
  4. 4Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil with minced garlic, lemon zest, and dill. Spread over salmon and season with salt and pepper.
  5. 5Slice one lemon and place slices on top of salmon. Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. 6Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything and serve immediately.

💡 Add asparagus after salmon has had a head start if the stalks are thin; salmon and vegetables should finish together rather than forcing one to overcook.
