Instructions
Preheat and Prep Pan
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the trimmed asparagus spears in a single layer across the center of the prepared sheet.
Make the Garlic Lemon Dressing
Whisk together olive oil lemon juice lemon zest and minced garlic in a small bowl. Season with sea salt and black pepper then drizzle half the mixture over the asparagus and toss to coat.
Add Salmon and Bake
Place the salmon fillets skin side down on top of or beside the asparagus on the sheet pan. Spoon the remaining garlic lemon dressing over the salmon fillets and bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
Check Doneness and Serve
The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout. Serve immediately directly from the pan with extra lemon wedges and fresh dill for garnish.
