Ingredients for Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Salmon with Asparagus

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the prepared sheet pan.
Arrange the trimmed asparagus in a single layer on the other side of the sheet pan.
Brush the lemon-garlic mixture evenly over both the salmon fillets and asparagus, using all of the sauce.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra brightness.
