Golden Pesto-Crusted Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
Oven-roasted salmon fillet topped with a vibrant basil pesto crust, served alongside tender asparagus spears that have a delightful snap.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 cup asparagus
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 wedge lemon
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and place them on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the salmon fillet on the other side of the baking sheet and season with the remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Spread the basil pesto evenly over the top of the salmon fillet to create a thick, flavorful crust.
Roast in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice over both the salmon and the asparagus.
