- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 large lemon, sliced into rings
Flavored butter ingredients
- 6 Tbsps butter, softened

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsps fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions

- Spread ¾ of the butter mixture over salmon. Dot asparagus with remaining flavored butter. Scatter with lemon slices and bake 12-15 minutes or until salmon is flaky and cooked through. Turn oven to broil and broil 2-3 minutes until salmon is golden.
- Serve asparagus alongside salmon.
