Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4 - 6 salmon fillets skin removed
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1/3 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt or sea salt flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 4 bunches asparagus 24 spears, woody ends removed
- 1 lemon sliced to garnish
- 1/3 cup beans peas or any other greens
Instructions
- Preheat oven broiler (or grill) to high heat. Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil. Arrange oven shelf to the second top shelf (about 8-inches from the heat element).
- Place the salmon on a large baking tray. Rub each fillet evenly with the garlic and parsley to evenly coat; pour over the lemon juice. Spray with a light coating of olive oil spray and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the asparagus and greens around the salmon in a single layer, and place the lemon slices over the top.
- Broil (or grill) for 8-10 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through to your liking (we find 8 minutes is perfect if the oven is hot).
- Serve with the asparagus and beans/peas and these Crispy Smashed Potatoes!
