Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp almond flour, 1/4 cup cream cheese, 1 tbsp fresh dill, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon, crust-side up, in the skillet and sear for 2 minutes until golden brown. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 10-12 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: While salmon cooks, toss 8 oz asparagus with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Roast on a separate sheet pan at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes until crisp-tender and bright green.
