This Baked Lemon Herb Salmon with Asparagus is a quintessential healthy weeknight dinner that is elegant, flavorful, and incredibly easy to clean up. Fresh salmon fillets are seasoned with a vibrant mixture of parsley, dill, garlic, and lemon zest, then placed on a sheet pan alongside crisp-tender asparagus spears. A simple drizzle of olive oil and fresh lemon juice ties everything together as it roasts in the oven. In just 15 minutes, the salmon becomes perfectly flaky and moist, while the asparagus turns bright green and slightly caramelized. This nutrient-dense, high-protein meal is packed with omega-3s and vitamins, aligning with health-conscious eating trends. It's a light yet satisfying dish that feels special enough for company but simple enough for any busy evening.
