STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it.

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the asparagus on a large lined tray and toss with half the oil and half the salt.
  2. Place the salmon among the asparagus. Mix the remaining oil and salt with the garlic, lemon juice and pepper, then spoon over the fish.
  3. Roast for 12–18 minutes, depending on fillet thickness, until the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part.
  4. If the asparagus needs longer, transfer the fish to warm plates and roast the vegetables for another 2–3 minutes.
  5. Divide the fish and asparagus into 4 servings. Spoon over the tray juices and finish with the parsley.

Kitchen notes
