Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, sliced
Vegetables
- 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb)
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Season Salmon: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets. Then, gently rub the everything bagel seasoning all over each fillet to ensure a flavorful crust.
- Prepare Vegetables: Arrange the asparagus evenly around the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with salt to enhance their natural flavors.
- Bake Everything: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender but crisp.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus to add a bright, zesty finish before serving.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- You can substitute asparagus with other vegetables like green beans or broccoli if preferred.
- Everything bagel seasoning can be found at most grocery stores or made at home with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried onion, and garlic flakes.
- For a crispier skin on the salmon, place fillets skin-side up and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
