Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Arrange asparagus and cherry tomatoes in a single layer on the pan, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. Step 3: Top salmon with half the lemon slices and half the fresh dill. Scatter remaining lemon slices and dill over the vegetables.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven, let rest for 3 minutes, then serve immediately with the pan juices spooned over the top.
