INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 Lemon
Pinch Dried Thyme
Pinch Dried Rosemary
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix half the olive oil with minced garlic, lemon zest (from the half lemon) and a squeeze of lemon juice along with a pinch each of dried thyme and rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the salmon fillet evenly with the olive oil and herb mixture, ensuring a crispy finish.
Arrange the asparagus on the same baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, add a bit of salt, pepper, and a light squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
For extra crispiness on the salmon, switch to broil for the last 2 minutes, watching closely to avoid overcooking.
Remove from the oven, plate the salmon and asparagus, and garnish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately.
