Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.

  3. Step 3: Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss 12 oz asparagus with 2 tbsp avocado oil, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder, then arrange around salmon. Scatter 1 lemon slice over everything.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, basting occasionally with reserved miso glaze. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp fresh dill before serving.
