Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cooking
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, and the juice from half of the lemon.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, then arrange the cherry tomatoes and asparagus around them.
- Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the salmon and vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Serving
- Remove from the oven, garnish with the remaining fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of extra dill if desired.
- Serve immediately with your favorite summer side dishes, such as a light salad or quinoa.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the olive oil and herb mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can also experiment with other seasonal vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
