Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 pound thin asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 lemon, half sliced into rounds and half juiced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for even easier cleanup. Place the trimmed asparagus and cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil, half of the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss the vegetables directly on the pan until they are evenly coated, then spread them out to the edges to leave room in the center for the fish.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear. Place the fillets in the center of the baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, the rest of the garlic, and dried oregano. Brush this mixture over the top of each salmon fillet. Season the fish with salt and pepper, then top each piece with a lemon slice. Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the tomatoes begin to burst.
  3. Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for two minutes. This allows the juices in the salmon to redistribute, ensuring every bite is moist. Use a spatula to transfer a salmon fillet and a generous portion of roasted vegetables to each plate. Spoon any extra juices from the pan over the fish for added flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately while hot.
