A quick and easy sheet pan salmon recipe featuring tender-crisp asparagus and a fresh lemon dill sauce, perfect for healthy meal prep and balanced textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 oz (170 g) each
  • 1 lb (450 g) fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, preferably extra virgin
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large lemon, zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • ½ cup (120 ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Rinse and trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Spread evenly on one side of the baking sheet.
  4. Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
  5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily but remains moist and asparagus is tender with a slight snap.
  7. While roasting, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and chopped dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes.
  9. Serve salmon and asparagus together with a generous dollop of lemon dill sauce on top or on the side.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry for crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking. Start checking salmon at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking. Lemon dill sauce is best added fresh after roasting. Leftovers keep well refrigerated up to 5 days; reheat gently at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes.
