Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears on the baking sheet with 0.5 tsp of olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tsp of olive oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down, and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact for a crispy skin.
Sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the center is just opaque.
Plate the salmon next to the roasted asparagus and finish both with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
