Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 fillets salmon, skin-on
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Tip: Use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Tip: Whisk thoroughly to emulsify the marinade.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with the marinade. Tip: Reserve some marinade for the asparagus.
  4. Toss the asparagus in the remaining marinade and arrange around the salmon. Tip: Spread the asparagus evenly for even roasting.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the asparagus is tender. Tip: Check salmon with a fork—it should flake easily.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Tip: Add an extra squeeze of lemon for brightness.
