Lemon-Ginger Salmon & Asparagus image

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or substitute low-sodium soy sauce)
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound asparagus trimmed
4 pieces salmon fillets (6 oz. each or 1/2 large Costco Salmon) see Note
4 slices thin lemon slices
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
4 wedges optional lemon wedges

Steps:

Note: If you wish to prepare a whole Costco salmon (approximately 3 lbs.), simply double the recipe for the sauce and asparagus
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, coconut aminos (soy sauce), rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on the pan and spoon 1/2 of the dressing onto the asparagus. Roast for 5 minutes.
Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on top of the asparagus. Top each fillet with a lemon slice. Spoon the remaining dressing over the salmon and lemon.
Roast the asparagus and salmon for 15 minutes, until the asparagus is just tender browned and the salmon just barely starts to flake when pulled apart with a fork.
Serve with green onions and lemon wedges, if desired.
