Easy One Pan Salmon Recipe with Asparagus - 30 Minute Meal
Hey everyone, it's Natasha of natashaskitchen.com.
Today we're making a one-pan salmon
that's juicy, flaky, easy, and wildly delicious.
The flavored butter is gold.
It melts into the salmon as it bakes,
giving the salmon and asparagus amazing flavor.
Start by lining a large rimmed baking sheet
with parchment paper,
making sure the paper isn't hanging over the edges.
Arrange two pounds of salmon fillets down the center.
Now onto the asparagus,
and we're using a full two pounds here
because this is dinner.
Snap off the fibrous edges and toss them.
Then arrange asparagus around your salmon.
Drizzle and roll the asparagus
with a little bit of olive oil.
Now season everything lightly with salt and pepper.
Now onto that incredible flavored butter.
You'll need half a cup of softened butter,
and if you forget to soften it, no problem.
I'll share a quick method in the recipe notes.
Now add two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
along with two tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley.
Press two large garlic cloves
and season with a teaspoon of salt
and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper.
Now you can use a food processor to whirl this together,
but I just use a fork.
It takes a couple minutes, but it will come together.
Seriously though, this flavored butter
smells as good as it tastes.
It's popular for good reason.
Put three fourths of the butter mixture over your salmon
and dab the rest of it onto the asparagus.
Spread the butter evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
You want every bite to be wildly delicious.
Finally, top the salmon with fresh slices of lemon
and bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes,
then broil on high heat for two to three minutes
to give the salmon a golden glow.
I am excited because it's time for the taste test
and it smells so good.
Now to pick a slice, the big one,
because we're all about big portions around here.
And some asparagus, lots of asparagus.
Yummy.
The taste test.
All right, let's do this because I cannot wait any longer.
Oh, and it is so juicy and flaky.
Wow, the combination of fresh parsley,
lemon juice and garlic is perfect for salmon.
And I love that the flavored butter
doesn't just run off the salmon,
it goes deep into the salmon as it bakes
and it is just so flavorful.
And of course we have to try the asparagus
because it is equally amazing
with that same herb butter on there.
Wow.
Now that's dinner.
Make this once and you'll make it again and again.
It is such an easy meal idea.
It comes together quickly and it is always a crowd pleaser.
