"This recipe for salmon and asparagus is perfect for a quick and healthy spring dinner! The fresh lemon, garlic, and Parmesan pair wonderfully with the salmon and asparagus, and most of the work happens on a baking sheet, so you don’t have to do much. To get the potatoes nice and crispy, you should roast them a little longer than the other ingredients. You can easily vary the lemon butter seasoning with all kinds of ingredients to suit your taste, just like the herbs for garnish. I love dill here because it pairs so well with salmon. If you want it even fresher, a light salad would be a perfect addition to round off your sheet-pan dinner!"
