Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet and drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil.
Step 2: Scatter 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves evenly over the salmon. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Arrange 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears next to the salmon. Drizzle asparagus with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 4: Roast everything in the oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender-crisp.
Step 5: Remove from oven and drizzle salmon and asparagus with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill before serving.
