  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 14 minute

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
– 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
– 4 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– Juice of 1 lemon
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt, to taste
– Black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Meal-Prep Salmon and Asparagus in Garlic Lemon Sauce is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Asparagus: On a baking sheet, arrange the trimmed asparagus. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets alongside the asparagus on the baking sheet. Drizzle each fillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
4. Make the Garlic Lemon Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried thyme. Pour this sauce evenly over the salmon fillets and asparagus.
5. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.
6. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley to enhance flavor and presentation.
7. Cool and Store: Allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before dividing it into meal prep containers. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
