Equipment

  • Frying Pan

Ingredients
  

Garlic Butter Salmon

  • 1 medium salmon fillet
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic or powder
  • ½ stick unsalted butter
  • ½ tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp minced parsley

Parmesan Asparagus

  • 9 pieces asparagus
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • cup grated parmesan
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

Asparagus

  • First preheat oven to 425 and line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Next, prepare asparagus by snapping off the ends. You can use a knife to cut them off, or just snap them right off.
  • Then, place asparagus on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss.
  • Add salt, black pepper, lemon juice and toss again
  • Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and lemon zest and toss to mix on last time.
  • Roast at 425ºF for 7 minutes*. Then, remove from oven, sprinkle on the remaining parmesan cheese and toss. Bake again for 2-4 more minutes, depending on how thick your asparagus spears are.

Salmon

  • Now that we have our asparagus in the oven, we can start by seasoning the salmon with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Gently cook salmon on both sides until golden brown. Remove the salmon fillets from the skillet and set aside to a plate.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic. Bring to a simmer. Add butter, lemon juice, parsley. Give a quick stir to combine.
  • Add salmon back to the pan and reheat for another minute. Garnish with more parsley and serve. Enjoy!
