Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a half-sheet pan, toss the asparagus with half the olive oil, half the salt, the black pepper, and the garlic powder. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, season the salmon fillet on both sides with the remaining salt.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down. Press firmly with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crisp. Flip the fillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Done when flakes easily and opaque in the center, 145°F.
Remove the salmon from the pan and drizzle with lemon juice. Serve alongside the roasted asparagus.
