Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a foil-lined sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp avocado oil, then sprinkle with lime zest, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Arrange asparagus around salmon, drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil, and season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender-crisp.
- Step 3: Remove from oven, immediately top salmon with lime juice, cilantro, and remaining lime zest. Serve immediately with roasted asparagus.
