Lemon garlic baked salmon and asparagus courtesy of Cafedelites.com– serves 6

4-6 salmon fillets, skin removed

2 tbsp. minced garlic

2 tbsp. chopped parsley

⅓ cup lemon juice

1 tsp. kosher salt

½ tsp. black pepper

Olive oil spray

4 bunches asparagus, woody ends removed

1 lemon for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven broiler (or grill) to high heat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the oven shelf to the second top shelf (about 8-inches from the heat element).

Place the salmon on a large baking tray. Rub each fillet evenly with the garlic and parsley to evenly coat; pour over the lemon juice. Spray with a light coating of olive oil spray and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the asparagus and greens around the salmon in a single layer, and place the lemon slices over the top.

Broil (or grill) for 8-10 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through to your liking (we find 8 minutes is perfect if the oven is hot).

Serve with the asparagus and beans/peas.
