Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 1 pound asparagus
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. Place the asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the asparagus, season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Arrange the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet skin-side down. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salmon.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them evenly over the salmon fillets. Season each fillet with 0.5 teaspoons of paprika, 0.5 teaspoons of dried parsley, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Slice the lemon into thin rounds and place 1-2 slices on top of each salmon fillet. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the asparagus.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender with slightly crispy tips.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Divide the salmon and asparagus among plates, garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve warm.
