Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 3 oz salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Toss 1 cup trimmed asparagus with 1 tbsp avocado oil in a bowl, then arrange around salmon. Sprinkle 1 tsp grated fresh turmeric, 1 tbsp lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp sea salt evenly over both.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus tips are tender-crisp, checking at 10 minutes to prevent overcooking.
  4. Step 4: Let rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle and salmon to set.
