Baked salmon with asparagus is a delightful and nutritious meal that's both simple to make and satisfying to eat. The tender salmon pairs perfectly with the crisp asparagus, all brought together by a delectable lemon butter sauce. This recipe is perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for optimal cooking.
- Trim the woody ends of the asparagus to ensure they are tender once cooked.
- For a richer sauce, make sure the butter is fully melted and blended with the lemon juice and red pepper.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Check the salmon for doneness by ensuring it flakes easily with a fork.
- Don't overcook the asparagus; it should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
This baked salmon with asparagus recipe is as nutritious as it is delicious. With minimal prep and cooking time, you can enjoy a gourmet meal right at home. Pair it with a glass of white wine and a light salad for a complete, well-balanced meal. Enjoy your culinary creation!
