Lemon Garlic Baked Salmon with Asparagus

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2.On a large baking sheet, arrange the trimmed asparagus in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread out evenly.

3.In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

4.Place the salmon fillets on top of the asparagus on the baking sheet. Brush the lemon garlic mixture generously over each salmon fillet.

5.Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon and asparagus, ensuring everything is well coated.

6.Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender but still crisp.

7.Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
