Ingredients

  • 2 6 oz Salmon Fillets
  • 1 lb Asparagus
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the 1 lb of asparagus on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the asparagus with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. 3Place the 2 6 oz salmon fillets on the same baking sheet alongside the asparagus. Drizzle the salmon fillets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the salmon fillets with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. 4Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes. The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The asparagus should be tender-crisp.
  5. 5While the salmon and asparagus are baking, prepare the lemon-garlic sauce. In a small bowl, mince the 2 cloves of garlic. Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and the 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined.
  6. 6Once the salmon and asparagus are finished baking, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the prepared lemon-garlic sauce over the salmon fillets and the asparagus before serving.
