Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange asparagus on one side of the pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Bake Everything Together
Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender with slight caramelization on the tips.
Serve Hot
Remove from oven and plate the salmon over the asparagus. Squeeze any remaining lemon rounds over the dish before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
