Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Salmon and Asparagus: Place the salmon fillets in the center of the baking sheet. Arrange the asparagus spears around the salmon. Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and asparagus.
3. Season: Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried dill (if using) over the salmon and asparagus. Top each salmon fillet with a couple of lemon slices.
4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.
5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
Success Tips: Ensure the asparagus spears are of similar thickness for even cooking.
Pairing Suggestions: Serve with a side of quinoa, wild rice, or a mixed green salad for a complete meal.
