Ingredients:

• 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin on or off
• 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 1-2 lemons)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh parsley, fresh dill, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. This is your zesty lemon-herb marinade.
3. Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the trimmed asparagus and cherry tomatoes on the other side.
4. Spoon about half of the lemon-herb marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the asparagus and cherry tomatoes, tossing gently with your hands or tongs to ensure everything is evenly coated. Spread the vegetables in a single layer.
6. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
7. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges. Enjoy your incredibly easy and delicious meal!
