Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Trim the woody ends off the 1 bunch asparagus and place on the sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, toss to coat.

  3. Step 3

    Pat the 4 salmon fillets dry and place them on the sheet pan among the asparagus. Drizzle with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Thinly slice the 2 garlic cloves and scatter over the salmon and asparagus. Cut the 1 lemon into wedges and place them on the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Roast for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot, with lemon wedges squeezed over the top.
