Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon zest, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin side down on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Arrange 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears around the salmon. Season salmon and asparagus with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillets and asparagus.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
