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
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 of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly and spread in a single layer.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet pan next to the asparagus.
Brush the olive oil and garlic mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Arrange lemon slices on top of the salmon and around the asparagus.
Roast 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-crisp.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
