Method
Preparation
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Vegetables
Trim the ends of the asparagus and rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water. Set aside.
Cooking
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roast the Vegetables
On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Cook the Salmon
While the vegetables are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Once the salmon and vegetables are cooked, serve the salmon fillets alongside the roasted asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the salmon for added flavor.
Garnish
Optional: Garnish with additional fresh dill or lemon wedges before serving.
