Lemon-Herb Baked Salmon with Asparagus
Fresh salmon fillets baked with a zesty lemon-herb rub until flaky, served with crisp-tender roasted asparagus for a bright and citrusy midday meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the asparagus and snap off the woody bottom ends, then place the spears on one side of the baking sheet.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and place it on the other side of the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the herb mixture over both the salmon and the asparagus, using a brush or your hands to ensure the asparagus is evenly coated.
Bake in the center of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet, until the salmon is opaque and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes before serving with an optional extra wedge of lemon.
