Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 12 oz trimmed asparagus on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper; toss to coat.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp dried oregano; mix until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Place 6 oz salmon fillet skin-side down on the asparagus, brush evenly with the lemon-garlic mixture, and top with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil; season with extra salt and pepper.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 12-14 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus edges are golden-brown and crisp.
