Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
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.
Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Season the salmon with a dash of salt and black pepper.
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.
Drizzle the garlic-lemon butter evenly over the salmon fillets and the asparagus.
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.
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.
