Description
Baked Tasmanian Salmon with Asparagus is a healthy and flavorful dish that combines tender salmon fillets with fresh asparagus, seasoned and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Tasmanian salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 lb (450g) asparagus (trimmed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and half of the minced garlic. Toss to coat evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, the rest of the minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the salmon fillets.
- Place the salmon fillets on the same baking sheet as the asparagus, skin-side down.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the salmon and asparagus with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
- Enjoy this healthy and delicious meal warm!
