Instructions

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. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice from half the lemon, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
3
Place salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange asparagus spears on the other side. Drizzle the herb-lemon mixture evenly over both the salmon and asparagus.

Arrange lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets. Toss the asparagus gently to ensure it's coated with the seasoning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other vegetables?

Yes, absolutely! Broccoli florets, green beans, or sliced bell peppers would also work well with similar cooking times. You might need to adjust roasting time slightly based on the vegetable.

How do I know when the salmon is cooked?

Salmon is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork. It will turn opaque throughout.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

You can prep the herb-lemon mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. For best results, season the salmon and asparagus just before baking to ensure freshness and prevent the fish from drying out.
