Baked Salmon with Asparagus

Ingredients

• 1½ lb salmon fillets
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lemon
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh dill (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Squeeze half of the lemon into the mixture.
4. Place salmon and asparagus on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over both the salmon and asparagus, ensuring everything is well coated.
5. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender-crisp.
6. Garnish with fresh dill and serve with the remaining lemon wedges.
