ROASTED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS, LEMON AND BROWN BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Asparagus, Lemon and Brown Butter image

Ready in just 15 minutes, this fast dinner combines silky salmon with a vibrant green medley of asparagus and peas. While the fish roasts, the vegetables and sauce come together in one pan on the stovetop. Thinly slicing the asparagus is the trick to maintaining a crisp texture that complements the tender salmon, while bright lemon juice and zingy capers balance the nutty brown butter sauce. Parsley is used here to finish, but dill or tarragon would also be lovely. Leftover vegetables make a fantastic omelet filling the next day.

Continue rolling until the end of the phyllo, then place on the parchment-lined baking sheet with the pesto side facing up and brush the top with oil. Score the top 2 to 3 times to allow steam to escape. Repeat with the remaining salmon and phyllo.
  • Bake parcels in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the phyllo is golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest a minute or two before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Look for bright green asparagus, firm and flaky salmon fillets, and crispy phyllo dough.
  • Properly season your salmon: Don't be afraid to season your salmon generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance its natural flavor.
  • Cook the salmon to perfection: The key to perfectly cooked salmon is to cook it until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooking will make the salmon dry and tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the asparagus: If you overcrowd the pan, the asparagus will not cook evenly. Cook the asparagus in batches if necessary.
  • Use a light touch when handling the phyllo dough: Phyllo dough is very delicate, so be careful not to tear it. Work quickly and keep the dough covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
  • Brush the phyllo dough with melted butter before baking: This will help to create a golden brown crust.
