This Garlic Parmesan Crusted Salmon and Asparagus recipe offers a flavorful and healthy meal ready in just 30 minutes. Fresh salmon fillets are brushed with olive oil, topped with aromatic garlic and shredded Parmesan cheese, then baked alongside tender asparagus for a perfectly cooked dinner that’s both simple and impressive.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Salmon and Asparagus

  • 1.5 lb salmon (3-4 salmon fillets)
  • 1 lb asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (or more as needed)

Topping

  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper that is safe to use at this temperature to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Salmon and Asparagus: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush them thoroughly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on all sides. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Toss the trimmed asparagus with the remaining olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then arrange them around the salmon on the baking sheet.
  3. Add Garlic and Parmesan: Evenly spread the minced garlic over the tops of both the salmon fillets and asparagus. Generously sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese over the salmon and vegetables, creating a flavorful crust.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salmon and asparagus for a bright, fresh finish before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the parchment paper is oven-safe at 400°F to avoid burning.
  • You can adjust garlic amount to your preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and crust texture.
  • If asparagus stalks are thick, you might want to roast them slightly longer or trim more to ensure even cooking.
  • Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after baking for best juiciness.
