This Lemon Herb Baked Salmon with Asparagus is a quick, nutritious, and impressive dish perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Fresh salmon fillets are coated in a vibrant mixture of parsley, dill, lemon zest, garlic, and olive oil, creating a fragrant crust that locks in moisture and flavor.
