Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Whisk 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Brush the maple-Dijon mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets. Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Toss 1 lb trimmed asparagus with 1 tsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Arrange around the salmon on the baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with 1 tbsp fresh dill and extra lemon wedges.
