Ingredients
  

Salmon and Asparagus
  • 2 fillets Salmon About 6 ounces each
  • 1 bunch Asparagus Trimmed
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil Divided
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried dill
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

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 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush the tops of the salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
  5. Place a few thin lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.
  6. 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.
  7. Serve immediately.
