Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 6 oz salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then rub with 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 1/2 tsp ground turmeric.
Step 2: Place 1 bunch trimmed asparagus on a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange salmon fillets skin-side down on top.
Step 3: Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, basting occasionally with pan juices. Squeeze 1 sliced lemon over the top before serving.
