Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) skin-side down on one half of the sheet pan. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

  4. Step 4: Brush the citrus-garlic mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
  5. Step 5: Arrange 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears on the other half of the sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of the remaining citrus-garlic mixture and season lightly with salt.
  6. Step 6: Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the salmon and asparagus before serving.
