Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan, season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and pinch black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and garlic, then arrange around salmon. Roast for 12-14 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  3. Step 3: Squeeze lemon juice over salmon, then stir minced dill into the pan juices. Drizzle the lemon-dill sauce over the salmon while serving, ensuring the sauce coats the fish evenly.
