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.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
1 pound asparagus, tough stems trimmed, stalks sliced 1/4-inch-thick on a slight bias (leave tips whole)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus wedges for serving
2 tablespoons drained capers
1/2 cup thawed frozen peas
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Rub salmon all over with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange skin side-down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While the salmon roasts, prepare the asparagus: In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add asparagus, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add butter to skillet. Cook, stirring, until foam subsides and butter is deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. (Be careful not to burn). Turn off heat and stir in lemon juice, capers, peas, parsley and cooked asparagus. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide vegetables among plates. Top with salmon and spoon over any remaining pan sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

GREEK SHEET PAN SALMON AND ASPARAGUS



Greek Sheet Pan Salmon and Asparagus image

This Greek-inspired one-pan meal is simple to make and perfect for busy weeknights. Guests will love this too! Serve with a side of rice, if desired. I prefer to use thick center-cut pieces of salmon, as they tend to remain more moist.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ pounds salmon fillet
½ teaspoon garlic salt
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Greek seasoning
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons Kalamata olives, pitted and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut salmon into 4 even pieces and place in the middle of the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Scatter asparagus around salmon.
  • Stir together olive oil, lemon juice, and Greek seasoning in a small bowl. Combine feta cheese and olives in a second bowl.
  • Brush half the oil mixture over salmon and drizzle the remainder over the asparagus.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until salmon easily flakes with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness of the salmon. Sprinkle salmon with feta mixture during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Tips:

  • Make sure the salmon fillets are of uniform thickness so that they cook evenly. If necessary, trim the fillets to make them the same size.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is best, but a regular olive oil will also work.
  • Don't overcrowd the sheet pan. If the salmon fillets are too close together, they won't cook evenly.
  • Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the salmon fillets for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the salmon fillets immediately with the roasted asparagus and lemon wedges.

Conclusion:

This sheet pan lemon garlic salmon with asparagus is a healthy and delicious meal that is easy to make. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the asparagus is roasted until tender. The lemon garlic sauce is a perfect complement to the salmon and asparagus. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
