One Pan Salmon and Asparagus with Garlic Herb Butter

This One Pan Salmon and Asparagus recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that combines tender, flaky salmon with perfectly roasted asparagus, all coated in a rich garlic herb butter. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a healthy, impressive meal.

Ingredients

(Serves 4)

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each, skin on or off)
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter

  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, and thyme. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

3. Arrange the Salmon and Asparagus

  • Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Arrange the asparagus spears around the salmon.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and season with salt and pepper.

4. Brush with Garlic Herb Butter

  • Generously brush the garlic herb butter over the salmon fillets. Drizzle any remaining butter over the asparagus for extra flavor.

5. Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
  • For a golden finish, switch to the broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking.

6. Serve

  • Remove from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra zest.

Tips

  • Salmon Doneness: The internal temperature of cooked salmon should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
  • Vegetable Variations: Swap asparagus with other vegetables like green beans, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes for variety.
  • Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic herb butter for a spicy kick.

This One Pan Salmon and Asparagus with Garlic Herb Butter is the perfect combination of simplicity and elegance, making it a go-to recipe for any occasion. 🐟🥦🍋
