Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets Salmon fillets 6 oz each, skin on or off
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Fresh dill finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 bunch Asparagus woody ends trimmed
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes red and yellow, halved
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil for tossing vegetables
  • 1 tsp Salt divided
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  • Place the trimmed asparagus and halved cherry tomatoes on one half of the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
  • Place the salmon fillets on the other half of the baking sheet. Season the fillets evenly with the remaining salt and black pepper.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, fresh dill, and lemon juice until well combined.
  • Spoon or brush the garlic butter sauce generously over each salmon fillet, allowing some to pool around the edges.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.
  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges if desired.
