PREPARATION

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and place them on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
3
Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with half of the sea salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
4
Place the salmon fillet on the other side of the baking sheet and season the top with the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
5
Spread the basil pesto in an even layer over the salmon, then press the sliced almonds and lemon zest into the pesto to create a crust.
6
Roast in the center of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender and slightly browned.
7
Serve immediately while the almond crust is perfectly toasted and the salmon is warm.
