Instructions:

2. Prepare the Asparagus:
- Rinse the asparagus spears under cold water and pat them dry.

3. Season the Asparagus:

5. Make the Garlic Parmesan Butter:
- In a small microwavable bowl, melt the 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave in 10-15 second increments until fully melted.
- Add the minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, and lemon juice to the melted butter. Stir to combine.
6. Apply the Garlic Parmesan Mixture:
- Spoon the garlic parmesan mixture over the salmon fillet, spreading it evenly.
7. Roast:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through and the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
8. Serve:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Plate the salmon and asparagus spears.
