Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)
  • 1 large bunch of fresh asparagus
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Fresh lemo
  • Garlic cloves (minced)
  • Fresh dill or parsley
  • Sea salt
  • Cracked black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus, place on one side of the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt, then toss gently.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the other side of the baking sheet.
  4. In a small glass bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, and half of the herbs, then spoon over the salmon.
  5. Top the salmon with lemon slices and roast for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  6. Remove from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything, sprinkle with remaining herbs, and let rest for two minutes before serving.

Notes

Using high-quality ingredients enhances the flavor. Allow salmon to come to room temperature before roasting for better results. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
