INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zest and juice)
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Dill, Thyme)
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 cup Asparagus
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Brush the salmon fillet lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine fresh chopped herbs, garlic powder, lemon zest (from the 1/2 lemon), salt, and pepper.
Press the herb mixture gently onto the top side of the salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Place the salmon on the prepared baking tray. Arrange the asparagus around the fillet.
Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the asparagus and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and squeeze the lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus before serving.
