Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 2 minced garlic cloves until combined.

- Step 4: Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender-crisp.
- Step 5: Remove from oven and garnish salmon fillets with fresh lemon slices. Serve immediately for a fresh, healthy dinner.
