Bake a bright and simple Lemon Dill Salmon with tender asparagus. This recipe offers a light, flavorful dinner that comes together quickly, balancing deep comfort with fresh, seasonal taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the trimmed asparagus on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill and dried dill (if using) evenly over the salmon. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Arrange the thin lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an extra bright finish, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish right before serving.
  • If you prefer a softer asparagus, you can toss it with 1 teaspoon of water before seasoning.
  • You can substitute fresh parsley for dill if you prefer a milder flavor profile.
  • This dish pairs well with quinoa or a simple side salad.
