Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 5 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, zested and sliced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Toss the asparagus and tomatoes with half the avocado oil and spread them on the sheet. Nestle the salmon in among the vegetables, brush it with the rest of the oil, and sprinkle with garlic, lemon zest, dill and pepper.
  3. Lay lemon slices on top and bake 12–15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Heart-healthy notes

Salmon is a fatty fish rich in omega-3s. Lemon, garlic and dill carry the flavor, so there's no salt in this recipe.

Note: Serve with brown rice.
