Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

When you want a healthy, elegant dinner with almost zero cleanup, this sheet pan salmon and asparagus is the answer! Everything roasts together beautifully in just 20 minutes.

1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

2

Whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. This herb sauce is incredible!

3

Place the salmon fillets in the center of the sheet pan. Arrange the asparagus around the salmon. Drizzle everything generously with the lemon herb sauce.

4

Roast for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp with slightly charred tips.

5

For extra color and flavor, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning!

6

Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side. This pairs beautifully with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread.
