Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Salmon Choose skin-on for extra flavor and crispiness.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil A drizzle adds richness and helps the seasoning stick.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Freshly minced garlic amplifies the savory notes of the dish.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice Freshly squeezed lemon juice brightens up the flavors beautifully.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances all the other flavors; sea salt works wonderfully here.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper A sprinkle adds a subtle kick to the dish.
For the Veggies
  • 1 bunch Asparagus Tender and vibrant, they cook perfectly alongside the salmon.
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes Their sweetness balances the savory salmon and garlic.
  • 1 medium Red onion Adds a lovely caramelized flavor when roasted with the other ingredients.
Optional Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley Chopped parsley adds a pop of color and fresh herbaceous notes.
  • 1 whole Lemon wedges Serve on the side for an extra burst of citrus when plated.
