Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim asparagus ends and cut into 2-inch pieces. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with 1/2 tbsp olive oil; toss to coat evenly, then season with 1/8 tsp sea salt and pepper.
Step 2: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the asparagus. Zest lemon over salmon, then slice lemon into thin rounds and place on top. Sprinkle with dill, garlic powder, remaining sea salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil.
Step 3: Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender-crisp. Check salmon by gently pressing the thickest part—it should feel firm but yield slightly. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges.
