Ingredients
Scale
2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet and the trimmed asparagus on the other side. Drizzle the olive oil over both the salmon and asparagus, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the salmon.
Top each salmon fillet with an even layer of grated Parmesan cheese, pressing gently to adhere.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
You can substitute the asparagus with broccoli or green beans for a different vegetable option.
