Ingredients
  

  • 1 Salmon Fillet 6oz / 170g, skin on
  • 1 bunch Asparagus Woody ends trimmed
  • ½ Lemon Sliced into rounds
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Smoked Paprika
  • Salt & Black Pepper To taste

Instructions
 

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange: Place the salmon fillet in the center of the sheet. Arrange asparagus stalks around the salmon in a single layer.
  • Season: Drizzle olive oil over everything. Rub the oil into the asparagus with your hands.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the fish and veggies.
  • Top: Place 2-3 lemon slices directly on top of the salmon fillet.
  • Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes. The salmon is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The asparagus should be bright green and tender-crisp.
