Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each
  • 1 lb asparagus spears trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh dill or parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Instructions: 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the salmon fillets on one side of the baking sheet and the asparagus spears on the other side.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over both the salmon and asparagus. Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over everything.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Place the lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.
  7. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
  8. Notes: You can add cherry tomatoes or sliced bell peppers for extra color and flavor. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Leftovers are great for lunch the next day—just store in an airtight container in the fridge.
