Best Roasted Salmon With Asparagus Lemon And Brown Butter Recipes

SALMON & ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON-GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Place salmon on one side of the prepared baking sheet and asparagus on the other. Sprinkle the salmon and asparagus with salt and pepper.
• Heat butter, oil, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice in a small skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted. Drizzle the butter mixture over the salmon and asparagus. Bake until the salmon is cooked through and the asparagus is just tender, 12 to 15 minutes.

OVEN BAKED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F.
• Lightly butter a 9x13 baking dish.
• Layer asparagus in the baking dish; lightly coat asparagus with cooking spray, season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
• Arrange salmon fillets over the asparagus and set aside.
• In a small bowl combine butter, garlic, half of the lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, rosemary, salt, and pepper; mash with a fork to create a paste.
• Rub the salmon fillets all over with the paste.
• Top each fillet with lemon slices and add few fresh rosemary leaves, if using.
• Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily and asparagus is fork tender. For a light crisp and browned top, I suggest to pop it under the broiler for the last 3 to 4 minutes. Watch it closely and do not overcook.
• Squeeze some lemon juice over the salmon, add fresh parsley, and serve.

SALMON ROASTED IN BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Place the butter and half the herb in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the salmon and place it in the oven. Heat about 5 minutes, until the butter melts and the herb begins to sizzle.
• Add the salmon to the pan, skin side up. Roast 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, then peel the skin off. (If the skin does not lift right off, cook 2 minutes longer.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn the fillet over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper again.
• Roast 3 to 5 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the fillet and the degree of doneness you prefer. Cut into serving portions, spoon a little of the butter over each and garnish with the remaining herb. Serve with lemon wedges.
