Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Place the trimmed asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle half of the oil mixture over the asparagus and toss to coat evenly. Spread the asparagus into a single layer.
- Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush the remaining oil mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- Arrange thin slices of lemon on top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets.
- Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For thicker salmon fillets, you may need to add 2 to 3 extra minutes to the cooking time.
- You can substitute broccoli florets for asparagus if desired; adjust cooking time slightly if needed.
- Use fresh lemon juice over the finished dish for extra brightness.
