Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 1 lb trimmed asparagus on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt, and toss to coat.
  2. Step 2: Season salmon fillets with remaining 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tbsp chopped dill. Arrange salmon on top of asparagus, skin-side down. Scatter 1 thinly sliced lemon over the top.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender with slightly crisp edges. Garnish with remaining 1 tbsp fresh dill before serving.

How do I store leftover Sheet Pan Lemon-Dill Salmon with Asparagus?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep trimmed asparagus from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Sheet Pan Lemon-Dill Salmon with Asparagus?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Sheet Pan Lemon-Dill Salmon with Asparagus for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
