Salmon and asparagus roast at the same temperature for the same time, which is all the menu planning this dinner needs. Lemon and dill finish it. Simple protein plus a green vegetable is a template worth keeping.

4 servings or type

4 Salmon fillets

1 pound Asparagus, ends trimmed

2 tablespoons Olive oil

1 Lemon, sliced

2 Garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped

¾ teaspoon Kosher salt

½ teaspoon Ground black pepper

Steps

Heat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking pan with foil. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, half the salt, and half the pepper; spread on the pan.
Set the salmon among the asparagus, skin side down. Rub with the garlic and season with the remaining salt and pepper; lay lemon slices on top.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the salmon flakes at 145°F and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Shower with dill and serve.

Tip: Pull the salmon at 140°F and let it rest. It coasts to 145 and stays silky instead of chalky.
