Ingredients
Scale
1 lb salmon fillet
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, half juiced, half sliced
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Place salmon fillet on the same baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Arrange lemon slices over the salmon.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and asparagus is tender-crisp.
While salmon bakes, whisk together lemon juice, dill, Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the sauce.
Serve salmon and asparagus immediately, drizzled with the lemon-dill sauce.
Notes
This meal is excellent for meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently.
Feel free to add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or bell peppers to the baking sheet.
For a dairy-free option, substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt or tahini.
