Asparagus and salmon are a classic combination, and cooking them at the same time means you can have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
1 800-g salmon fillet
3/4 tsp salt, divided
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp lemon zest
1 1/2 tbsp chopped capers
1/2 tsp pepper, divided
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
2 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tbsp finely chopped dill
1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
Instructions
PREHEAT oven to 425F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
LAY salmon skin-side down in centre of prepared sheet. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp of the salt.
WHISK lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp of the oil, lemon zest, capers, 1/4 tsp of the salt and 1/4 tsp of the pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1 tbsp lemon mixture. Spoon remaining sauce over salmon.
ARRANGE asparagus and garlic around the salmon and drizzle with remaining oil. Toss with remaining salt and pepper. Bake until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 15 min.
DRIZZLE reserved lemon mixture over asparagus, then sprinkle with dill. Serve with lemon wedges.
Kitchen Tip: If you like your asparagus with a bit of a crunch, add to baking sheet during last 10 min of cooking time. This recipe can also be made with 4 200-g salmon fillets.
