Baked Lemon Garlic Salmon + Asparagus in One Pan
How to cook salmon in a single pan. What I like best about it (and I’m sure you will too) is because it doesn’t require marinating. They’re ideal for coating, baking, and eating because the flavours are so intense. With only two main flavour components, it’s smothered in flavour: Garlic and the juice of a lemon.
From there, season to taste with as much salt and pepper as you prefer, as well as the mild flavour of parsley. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked to your preference.

INGREDIENTS
Four–six (6 oz or 170 g) skinless salmon filletsTwo tbsp. garlic, mincedTwo tbsp parsley, finely chopped1/3 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezedCooking spray with olive oilOne tsp. salt (kosher) (or sea salt flakes)1/2 teaspoon black pepper, crackedFour bunches (24 spears) asparagus, woody ends removed.One lemon, cut to serve as a garnish1/3 cup greens (beans, peas, or other greens)

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the broiler (or grill) in the oven to high. Aluminium foil should be used to line a baking sheet. Place the oven shelf on the second-highest rack (about 8-inches from the heating element).

Using a large baking tray, place the fish. Toss each fillet with the garlic and parsley to coat evenly, then drizzle with the lemon juice—season with salt and pepper and a thin coating of olive oil spray. Arrange the asparagus and greens in a single layer around the salmon, then top with lemon slices.

Broil (or grill) the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until done to your satisfaction (we find 8 minutes is perfect if the oven is hot). Serve with these crispy smashed potatoes with asparagus and beans/peas!
