Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Toss asparagus (1 bunch) with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Spread on one side of the pan.
Step 2: In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup softened butter with minced garlic (4 cloves), 2 tbsp chopped dill, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Place salmon fillets (4) on the other side of the pan, skin side down. Top each with 2 tbsp garlic butter.
Step 3: Bake 15 minutes until salmon is opaque and asparagus is tender-crisp. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over before serving.
