Sun-Kissed Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon-Dill Sauce

A light and flavorful dish featuring perfectly roasted salmon, tender asparagus, and a bright lemon-dill sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Salmon filets (6 oz each)
  • 1 bunch Asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • For the Lemon-Dill Sauce:
    • 1/4 cup Fresh dill, chopped
    • 1/4 cup Lemon juice
    • 2 tbsp Butter
    • 1 clove Garlic, minced
    • Pinch of sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.
  3. Place salmon filets on the same baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
  4. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and asparagus is tender.
  5. While the salmon and asparagus roast, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in lemon juice, dill, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  6. Serve roasted salmon topped with lemon-dill sauce and alongside roasted asparagus.
