Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, then season lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred on the edges.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. This ensures the skin will crisp up nicely.
Season the salmon generously on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down and press gently to ensure even contact with the pan.
Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes without moving it, allowing the skin to become crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked salmon and asparagus before serving for a bright, zesty finish.
Plate the crispy skinned salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and enjoy a balanced, flavorful meal.
