1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3
Season the Salmon
Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets. Mince the garlic and sprinkle it over the fillets. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the salmon, and season with salt and black pepper. Chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it on top.
4
Add Lemon Slices
Slice the remaining half of the lemon and place the slices on top of the salmon.

5
Bake the Salmon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
6
Let Rest
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

7
Prepare Asparagus
While the salmon is baking, wash the asparagus and trim the ends. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast in the oven for the last 10 minutes of the salmon baking time.
8
Cook Quinoa
In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
