Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a half-sheet pan, toss the asparagus with half the olive oil, half the salt, and half the pepper. Arrange in a single layer.
Roast the asparagus for 12 to 15 minutes until tender and slightly browned at the tips. While the asparagus roasts, prepare the salmon.
Season the salmon with the remaining salt and pepper. Heat the remaining oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down. Press gently with a spatula and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more until the fish flakes easily. Done when flakes easily and is opaque in the center, 145°F.
Remove the salmon and asparagus from the heat. Serve the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus with lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.
