Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large lemon, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Place the trimmed asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Spread the asparagus in a single layer.
- Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving space between the fish and the asparagus.
- Brush the garlic-herb mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus. Arrange the thin lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets.
- 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.
- Serve immediately directly from the pan.
Notes
- For crispier asparagus, you can roast the asparagus alone for 5 minutes before adding the salmon to the pan.
- Do not overcook the salmon; check for doneness at the 12-minute mark.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the coating.
