Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the trimmed asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Sprinkle the remaining garlic, dill, salt, and pepper over the salmon.
- Arrange the lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your salmon.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For thicker salmon fillets, you may need to add 2 to 3 minutes to the cooking time.
- You can substitute broccoli florets or green beans for the asparagus.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished dish.
