Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz salmon fillet
  • 6 oz asparagus
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil, divided
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice, divided
  • 1½ teaspoon dill
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Pat salmon fillet dry and place on a lined baking tray.
  • Drizzle fillet with olive oil and lemon juice. Spread evenly using a cooking brush. Season fillet with dill, oregano and salt.
  • Cut off the bottom of asparagus spears, rinse and pat dry.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and sprinkle with salt. Combine well and spread on a different baking tray.
  • Bake both in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the fillet easily flakes in the thickest part with a fork and the asparagus can be easily pierced.
  • Drizzle everything with lemon juice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a cooking brush to spread olive oil and lemon juice over the salmon fillet before adding herbs.
  • The fillet will turn translucent (red) to opaque (pink) while cooking.
  • You’ll know the salmon is done when the fillet easily flakes in the thickest part and is pink in color. 
  • The asparagus cook time will depend on how thick the spears are. The thinner the spears, the less cook time they will require.
