Sun Dried Tomato Lemon Baked Salmon And Asparagus Recipes

OVEN BAKED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F.
• Lightly butter a 9x13 baking dish.
• Layer asparagus in the baking dish; lightly coat asparagus with cooking spray, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
• Arrange salmon fillets over the asparagus and set aside.
• In a small bowl combine butter, garlic, half of the lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, rosemary, salt, and pepper; mash with a fork to create a paste.
• Rub the salmon fillets all over with the paste.
• Top each fillet with lemon slices and add few fresh rosemary leaves, if using.
• Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily and asparagus is fork tender. For a light crisp and browned top, I suggest to pop it under the broiler for the last 3 to 4 minutes. Watch it closely and do not overcook.
• Squeeze some lemon juice over the salmon, add fresh parsley, and serve.

ONE-PAN SALMON WITH ROAST ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Tip the potatoes and 1 tbsp of olive oil into an ovenproof dish, then roast the potatoes for 20 mins until starting to brown. Toss the asparagus in with the potatoes, then return to the oven for 15 mins.
• Throw in the cherry tomatoes and vinegar and nestle the salmon amongst the vegetables. Drizzle with the remaining oil and return to the oven for a final 10-15 mins until the salmon is cooked. Scatter over the basil leaves and serve everything scooped straight from the dish.
