Prepare a complete, flavorful dinner using only one sheet pan. This recipe features salmon fillets and fresh asparagus baked with a simple lemon and garlic seasoning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large lemon, half sliced thinly, half juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you are using them.
  3. Place the trimmed asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle half of the oil mixture over the asparagus and toss gently to coat. Spread the asparagus into an even layer.
  4. 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.
  5. Arrange the thin lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your salmon.
  7. Remove from the oven. Garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For thicker salmon fillets, you may need to add 2 to 3 extra minutes to the baking time.
  • You can substitute broccoli florets or green beans for the asparagus if desired; adjust cooking time slightly if using denser vegetables.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best bright flavor.
