Instructions

1Preheat your oven broiler to high heat and position the rack 8 inches from the heat element. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Mince the fresh garlic and chop the fresh parsley. Slice the lemon into thin rounds.
3Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Rub each fillet evenly with the minced garlic and chopped parsley. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over each piece, then lightly coat with cooking spray. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4Trim the asparagus and arrange the spears around the salmon in a single layer on the same baking sheet. Top the salmon with lemon slices.
5Broil over high heat for 8–10 minutes, until the salmon is opaque throughout, flakes easily with a fork, and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. The asparagus should be tender-crisp with lightly charred tips.
6Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes.
7Divide the salmon and asparagus evenly into 6 airtight containers while still warm. Allow to cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
