Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears on one side of the sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Mix until crumbly and well combined.
  3. Step 3: Place 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin on) skin-side down on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle each fillet with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Press the herb breadcrumb mixture evenly onto the top of each salmon fillet to form a crust.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and drizzle asparagus and salmon with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice before serving.
