1 Ingredients
| Qty | Item |
|---|---|
| 4 6-oz fillets | Salmon fillets |
| 1 lb | Asparagus |
| 2 tbsp | Olive oil |
| 2 tbsp | Unsalted butter, melted |
| 3 cloves | Garlic, minced |
| 1 tbsp | Fresh parsley, chopped |
| 1 tsp | Fresh dill, chopped |
| 1 large | Lemon |
| 0.5 tsp | Kosher salt |
| 0.25 tsp | Black pepper |
2 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on one side of the sheet pan. Place the four salmon fillets on the other side.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and dill.
Drizzle the herb butter mixture over the salmon and asparagus. Use your hands or a brush to ensure the asparagus is evenly coated. Season everything with salt and black pepper.
Cut half of the lemon into thin rounds and place them on top of the salmon fillets. Reserve the other half for squeezing over the finished dish.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon. The salmon should flake easily with a fork and the asparagus should be tender-crisp.
Remove from the oven, squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the pan, and serve immediately.
💡 Tips & Tricks
-
·
To ensure even cooking, try to select salmon fillets that are of similar thickness.
-
·
If you prefer your asparagus extra crispy, you can toss them in the oil/butter mixture first and start roasting them 5 minutes before adding the salmon to the pan.
-
·
Check the internal temperature of the salmon; it is perfectly cooked at 145°F (63°C).
-
·
Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus by bending the stalk until it naturally breaks.
