Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place 6 oz salmon fillet skin-side down on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp grated fresh turmeric and 1/8 tsp sea salt.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 1 cup asparagus spears around salmon, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt.
  3. Step 3: Roast 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus tips are tender-crisp with light browning.
  4. Step 4: Immediately garnish with 1 tsp lemon zest, ensuring vibrant aroma and color that enhances skin-clearing benefits.
