Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
- Place the salmon fillets on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
- While the salmon is baking, toss the asparagus spears with lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the asparagus alongside the salmon for the last 8-10 minutes of cooking time, or until tender-crisp.
Serve the salmon immediately over roasted asparagus.
