Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, thyme, and the olive oil. Transfer one third of this mixture to a separate clean ramekin and set it aside for serving. Season the salmon fillet with half the salt and half the pepper.
Place the asparagus on a half-sheet pan and toss with another third of the lemon-herb mixture and the remaining salt and pepper. Move the asparagus to the sides and place the salmon in the center. Brush the salmon with the remaining lemon-herb mixture from the first bowl. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes until the asparagus is tender and the salmon flakes easily. Done when opaque in the center and flakes easily, 145°F.
Transfer the salmon and asparagus to a plate. Spoon the reserved clean lemon-herb mixture over the salmon and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
