Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 pound asparagus
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. Place the asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the asparagus, season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet skin-side down. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salmon.
Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them evenly over the salmon fillets. Season each fillet with 0.5 teaspoons of paprika, 0.5 teaspoons of dried parsley, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and place 1-2 slices on top of each salmon fillet. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the asparagus.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender with slightly crispy tips.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Divide the salmon and asparagus among plates, garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve warm.
