Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in the center of the sheet and arrange the trimmed asparagus spears in a single layer around the fillets.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over both the salmon and the asparagus. Rub minced garlic onto the salmon and toss the asparagus gently to coat.

Step 4

Season everything evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Place lemon slices on top of the salmon and asparagus.

Step 5

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Garnish with fresh dill and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.

💡 Pro Tips for Success

•Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel before drizzling olive oil to help spices stick and form a light crust.
•For a crispy finish, broil the salmon for the last 2 minutes of baking.
•Ensure the asparagus spears are of similar thickness so they cook evenly.
