Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 1 lb trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet, toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, spreading in a single layer.
  2. Step 2: Pat salmon fillets dry, then rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh chopped dill, 1/2 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Step 3: Place salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet with the asparagus, drizzle with 1 tbsp lemon juice, and roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender with slightly crisp edges.
