- 1.5 lbs salmon fillets
- 1 bunch (about 1 lb) asparagus spears
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large lemon
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
How to make Sheet Pan Lemon Herb Salmon & Asparagus
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels; this helps them achieve a nice sear and prevents steaming. Set aside.
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme.
- Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the lemon-herb mixture evenly over the salmon.
- Arrange the seasoned asparagus on the other side of the baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the salmon and asparagus. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley before serving hot.
