Let’s whip up something simple and stunning! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a big baking sheet with parchment or foil—makes cleanup a breeze!
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper—stir it up ‘til it’s a zesty little marinade. Smells so fresh already!
Lay the asparagus out on one side of the baking sheet—give ‘em a little space to roast. Brush ‘em with some of that marinade—get ‘em nice and coated!
Place the salmon fillets on the other side—skin side down if they’ve got skin. Spoon the rest of the marinade over the salmon—let it soak in all that flavor. If you’ve got lemon slices, tuck a few on top—looks so pretty!
Pop the sheet in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes—until the salmon flakes with a fork and the asparagus is tender. You’ll see that golden edge on the salmon—oh, it’s gonna be good!
Pull it out and let it rest for a minute—just enough time to grab some plates. The kitchen’s smelling like a fancy restaurant now—don’t you love that?
Serve it up hot—plate the salmon with a side of asparagus. Squeeze a little extra lemon juice if you’re feeling zesty! This is light, flavorful, and oh-so-elegant—dig in and enjoy every bite!
