1 pound Asparagus
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 Lemo
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Dried dill
½ teaspoon Sea salt
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
¼ teaspoon Paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Prepare the asparagus by washing thoroughly, snapping off the woody ends, and laying them on one side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with half of the minced garlic, half of the salt, and half of the pepper, and toss to coat
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving space
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the salmon and sprinkle the remaining garlic, dill, salt, pepper, and optional paprika on top. Place a thin slice of lemon on each fillet if desired
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-18 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and the asparagus is tender-crisp
- Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus before serving
Notes
For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs or adding a sprinkle of feta cheese before serving.
