Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then rub with 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Step 2: Whisk together 1/4 cup plain kombucha, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Brush half over salmon and place skin-side down on a baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Toss 1 bunch trimmed asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest. Arrange around salmon and roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Brush remaining kombucha glaze over salmon during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
