Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat salmon dry and season skin-side with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down in skillet and cook for 6 minutes until skin is crispy and golden. Flip and cook for 3 more minutes until fish is opaque at the thickest part.
  3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, toss asparagus with 1/2 tsp olive oil on a baking sheet. Roast at 400°F for 12 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon and let rest. In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp fresh dill. Whisk until butter melts and sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
  5. Step 5: Slice salmon and serve with roasted asparagus, drizzling with lemon-dill sauce. Garnish with extra dill.
