Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. This is your herb-lemon dressing.
3
Place the asparagus and cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss gently to coat. Spread them out in a single layer.
4
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them on the baking sheet among the vegetables, ensuring they have some space. Spoon the herb-lemon dressing evenly over each salmon fillet.
5
Arrange lemon slices on top of or around the salmon fillets and vegetables. Roast for 12-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender-crisp. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon.
6
Remove from oven and serve immediately. A squeeze of extra fresh lemon juice over everything before serving is always a good idea.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if the salmon is cooked?

Salmon is cooked when it changes from translucent to opaque and flakes easily with a fork. An internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is generally recommended. Be careful not to overcook, or it will become dry.

Can I use other vegetables?

Yes, feel free to substitute or add other quick-cooking vegetables like broccoli florets, zucchini slices, or bell pepper strips. Adjust cooking times as needed for different vegetables.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

You can prepare the lemon-herb dressing and trim the vegetables ahead of time. Keep them separate and assemble the sheet pan just before roasting to ensure the freshest results and prevent the salmon from marinating too long in the acidic lemon juice.
