Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 1 pound asparagus spears
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears and place them on the baking sheet. Add the cherry tomatoes to the same sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them evenly on top.

Step 4

Season the vegetables with 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, and thyme leaves. Toss to coat everything evenly and spread them out in a single layer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, the juice of half the lemon, paprika, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.

Step 6

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and rub the oil and spice mixture evenly over the fillets.

Step 7

Nestle the salmon fillets between the asparagus and cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet.

Step 8

Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and place a slice on top of each salmon fillet.

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm with an optional extra drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
