Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of this mixture.
  3. 3
    Place salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with the majority of the lemon-herb mixture. Arrange asparagus and cherry tomatoes on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle vegetables with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. 4
    Roast for 12-18 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender-crisp. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets.
  5. 5
    Remove from oven. Drizzle the reserved lemon-herb mixture over the cooked salmon and vegetables. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen salmon?

Yes, make sure to thaw frozen salmon completely in the refrigerator overnight and pat it very dry before seasoning and cooking.

What other vegetables can I use?

Broccoli florets, bell peppers, or green beans would also work well. Adjust cooking times as needed for different vegetables.

How do I know when the salmon is cooked?

Salmon is done when it changes from translucent to opaque and flakes easily with a fork. An internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is ideal.
