Directions

Preheat Your Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This recipe is all about achieving the perfect balance of crispy and tender, and the right temperature is crucial.

Prepare the Asparagus

Wash the asparagus spears and trim the tough ends. In a mixing bowl, toss them with a drizzle of olive oil and minced garlic, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Season the Salmon

Place the salmon fillets on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Season them with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and dried oregano. These flavors will elevate the dish to a new level of deliciousness.

Create the Parmesan Crust

In a separate bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese and the remaining minced garlic. This mixture will form a mouthwatering crust for the salmon.

The Crust Application

Using a basting brush, coat the top of each salmon fillet with the parmesan and garlic mixture generously. The crust will turn golden and crispy while baking, adding a delightful crunch to your dish.

Bake to Perfection

Place the asparagus spears and salmon fillets in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes. The salmon should be flaky and tender, and the asparagus tender-crisp. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the salmon just before serving.

Serving

I Love to Serve it while it’s hot with roasted potatoes or a fresh garden salad. The crispy crust, juicy salmon, and tender asparagus create an amazing taste. and for drinks, just your regular drink can do the job, for me I prefer a Calamansi Juice or just a regular cola.

How to Store

Don’t worry if you have some leftovers. This dish still tastes great when you warm it up. Just put it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To keep the crust crispy, reheat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.

Tips

Make it extra tasty by adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the parmesan crust for a wonderful smell and flavor. For some extra crunch, sprinkle chopped almonds or hazelnuts on the salmon before baking. It’s a real treat! Get creative with different citrus flavors, such as orange or lime, to give your dish a unique twist
