This recipe delivers a quick, nutritious dinner with minimal cleanup. Salmon fillets and vegetables roast together, all drizzled in a bright lemon-garlic sauce. It’s a simple, flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, sliced thin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. On the prepared sheet pan, arrange the salmon fillets, asparagus, and cherry tomatoes in a single layer.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Drizzle the lemon-garlic mixture over the salmon and vegetables. Toss the vegetables gently to ensure even coating.
  5. Place the lemon slices over and around the salmon fillets.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the salmon and vegetables for 15-20 minutes before baking.
  • You can substitute other quick-cooking vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli florets.
