What are we cooking today?
A bright and fresh dish, this salmon dish is easy to make and delicious for a quick and easy dinner.
Getting started
- Preheat oven to 210°C.
Arrange fish, garlic cloves, asparagus, sliced lemon, onion, rosemary and dill on a sheet lined with parchment paper.
In bowl, whisk oil, minced garlic and lemon juice with salt and pepper to taste.
Brush mixture on fish, then drizzle on veggies, tossing to coat.
Bake until salmon is done to your liking - around 15 minutes.

Asparagus can be thick and take longer to cook. You can blanch them first in boiling water for a few minutes before draining and baking.
