Ingredients
  • 2 fillets salmon
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Tip: Ensure oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine sunflower seeds, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Tip: Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
  3. Brush salmon fillets with olive oil, then press the sunflower seed mixture onto the top of each fillet. Tip: Press firmly to ensure the crust sticks.
  4. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet and arrange the asparagus around them. Drizzle asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Tip: Spread asparagus evenly for even roasting.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and asparagus is tender. Tip: Check salmon for flakiness to ensure doneness.
