- 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.
