Ingredients
Preparation
- Preheat the oven 350ºF.
- Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt.
- In a small bowl, combine the shallots, parsley, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and melted butter. Spread the mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through and easily flakes off with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the oil to coat the pan. Add the asparagus and cook, turning occasionally, for about 8 to 10 minutes or until tender but still holding shape.
- Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter, season with sea salt, and top with the toasted almonds.
- Serve the salmon fillets with the asparagus immediately.
