Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper; toss to coat and arrange in a single layer. Roast for 12-15 minutes until crisp-tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon zest and juice, lime zest and juice, and grated ginger. Brush half of the mixture over both sides of salmon fillets. Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add salmon skin-side down; cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy and golden. Flip and cook for 3-4 minutes more until opaque and flakes easily.
  3. Step 3: Drizzle remaining citrus-ginger mixture over salmon and serve immediately with roasted asparagus.
