Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 pound asparagus spears
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears and place them on the baking sheet. Add the cherry tomatoes to the same sheet.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them evenly on top.
Season the vegetables with 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, and thyme leaves. Toss to coat everything evenly and spread them out in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, the juice of half the lemon, paprika, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and rub the oil and spice mixture evenly over the fillets.
Nestle the salmon fillets between the asparagus and cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet.
Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and place a slice on top of each salmon fillet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with an optional extra drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
