Lemon Herb Baked Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
This Lemon Herb Baked Salmon is a quintessential healthy dinner that comes together in under 30 minutes. Fresh salmon fillets are topped with a mixture of lemon zest, fresh dill, parsley, and garlic, then baked until perfectly flaky and infused with citrusy aroma. Roasted alongside is a bundle of crisp-tender asparagus, lightly coated in olive oil and seasoned simply. The dish is light, flavorful, and packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamins. It's perfect for a busy weeknight when you want a nutritious, restaurant-quality meal without the fuss, and it's elegant enough to serve for a simple dinner party. The colors are vibrant, and the flavors are clean and refreshing.
