Ingredients

4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets
1 tbsp grated fresh turmeric root
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp avocado oil
1 lb trimmed asparagus
1/2 sliced lemon
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp grated turmeric, 2 tsp grated ginger, and 1 tbsp avocado oil to form a paste. Spread evenly over salmon, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 3: Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange asparagus around salmon and dot with 1/2 lemon slices. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil.
Step 4: Roast for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, checking at 10 minutes to prevent overcooking.
