Ingredients
4 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Place the trimmed asparagus on the sheet pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat evenly and spread them out in a single layer on one side of the pan.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the sheet pan.
Brush the olive oil and garlic mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Arrange the lemon slices over and around the salmon and asparagus.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the salmon and asparagus before serving.
