Ingredients:

  • 2 Salmon Fillets (approx. 170g each)
  • 1 bunch Fresh Asparagus Spears (about 450g), trimmed
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss trimmed asparagus on one side of the prepared pan with 1 Tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread into a single layer.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, minced garlic, oregano, and lemon zest to create the herb dressing.
  4. Place the salmon fillets on the empty side of the pan. Season lightly with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  5. Spoon half of the herb dressing evenly over the salmon fillets. Place the pan in the preheated oven.
  6. Roast for 12–15 minutes, depending on fillet thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  7. Remove from the oven. Drizzle the remaining fresh dressing over the salmon and asparagus before serving immediately.
