Ingredients

• Salmon and Asparagus:
• 2 lb. salmon filet, cut into six 6 oz. portions
• 2 lb. (about 2 bunches) asparagus, woody ends snapped off and discarded
• salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 T. olive oil
• 1 small lemon, sliced into rings, for garnish
• Lemon-Garlic-Herb Butter:
• 6 T. unsalted butter, softened (*see how to quick soften)
• 2 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice from 1 small lemon
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 T. fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 t. sea salt
• ¼ t. black pepper

Steps

1. Place oven rack in the top third of the oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, trimming the paper to just fit so it doesn't go over edges of pan to prevent the paper from charring under broiler.
2. Place salmon filets in a row down the center of the prepared baking pan. Arrange asparagus on the sides of the salmon. Drizzle asparagus lightly with olive oil; roll to coat. Sprinkle asparagus and salmon with salt and pepper.
