Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place asparagus on the sheet and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, tossing to coat evenly. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the asparagus. Drizzle with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, then spread Dijon mustard evenly over the salmon. Scatter lemon slices and minced garlic over the top.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle with 1 tbsp fresh dill, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper. Gently press dill into the salmon to adhere.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender with slightly crisp edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven. Let rest for 3 minutes. Garnish with remaining 1 tbsp dill and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges.
