Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet; top each with 1/4 cup sliced asparagus, 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and scatter 1/4 of the lemon slices over the top; place remaining lemon slices on top of salmon fillets. Roast for 15-18 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: Remove from oven and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill; let rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

How do I scale Lemon-Dill Sheet Pan Salmon with Asparagus and Cherry Tomatoes for a different number of people?
