Instructions
Here is how to prepare Meal-Prep Salmon and Asparagus in Garlic Lemon Sauce with ease:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
3. Arrange the Salmon and Asparagus: Place the salmon fillets on one side of the baking sheet and the asparagus on the other.
4. Make the Garlic Lemon Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
5. Drizzle the Sauce: Pour half of the garlic lemon sauce over the salmon and the other half over the asparagus.
6. Toss the Asparagus: Use your hands to toss the asparagus lightly in the sauce to ensure even coating.
7. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley and additional lemon wedges if desired.
This simple process results in a delicious, colorful meal that you’ll want to make regularly!
