Description
This Salmon and Roasted Asparagus recipe perfectly balances elegance with simplicity. The flaky, tender texture of the fish pairs beautifully with the crisp-tender snap of the oven-roasted asparagus, elevated by lemon and garlic. It's a dish that feels like a warm hug and is suitable for both busy weeknights and sophisticated weekend gatherings.
Ingredients
4 fillets (approx. 6oz each) Fresh Salmo
1 large bunch Fresh Asparagus
3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
1 large Lemo
1 teaspoon Raw Honey (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs (Dill or Parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Place your trimmed asparagus on one side of the baking sheet, drizzle with half of the olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them on the other side of the baking sheet
- In a bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and honey, then brush this mixture over the salmon. Add lemon slices on top
- Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and the asparagus is tender
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately
Notes
You can substitute asparagus with green beans or zucchini if preferred.
Consider using melted coconut oil if you're out of olive oil.
