Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb asparagus, washed and ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 salmon fillets (see note)
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into 1/2 tablespoon slices

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the asparagus on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, season with salt and pepper, and arrange in a single layer along the sides of the pan.
  3. Pat the salmon dry and place it in the center of the baking sheet. Halve the lemon, squeeze one half over the salmon, and season with kosher salt and pepper.
  4. Top each salmon filet with 1/2 tablespoon of butter slices. Slice the remaining lemon half into four rounds and place one on each filet.
  5. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork, adjusting for thickness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Make sure your salmon is not straight from the fridge because it won't cook evenly. Take it out of the fridge and set on the counter for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
