  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place the salmon fillet in the center of the sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Arrange lemon slices and dill sprigs over the salmon. Sprinkle minced garlic over the entire fish.
  4. In a bowl, toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them around the salmon on the sheet pan.
  5. Bake the salmon and vegetables in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and tender.
  6. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving the salmon with the roasted vegetables.
