Ingredients
  

For the Salmon and Asparagus
  • 2 fillets Salmon about 5 ounces each
  • 1 bunch Asparagus trimmed
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the trimmed asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Rub the remaining olive oil over the salmon. Sprinkle both fillets evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  5. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
