Ingredients:

16 oz salmon
450g
1/2 lb asparagus
230g
1 tbsp butter
14g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 garlic cloves
6g
3 tbsp lemon juice
44g
1 tsp lemon zest
2g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Asparagus:
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on one side of a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a dash of salt and black pepper. Toss to coat.
3. Prepare the Salmon:
Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Season the salmon with a dash of salt and black pepper.
4. Make the Garlic-Lemon Butter:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the minced garlic. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest.
5. Assemble:
Drizzle the garlic-lemon butter evenly over the salmon fillets and the asparagus.
6. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
7. Serve:
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Serve the salmon fillets alongside the asparagus, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
8. Enjoy!
Enjoy your delicious and healthy Citrusy One-Pan Salmon and Asparagus with Garlic!

Tips:

- Make sure to pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel before seasoning to achieve a nice crispy skin.

- Preheat the pan to ensure an even cooking surface for both the salmon and asparagus.

- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets. Thicker fillets may require a few extra minutes.

- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor impact.

- You can add extra herbs like dill or parsley for additional flavor complexity.
