In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic (from the 4 cloves), salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this mixture over the salmon fillets and rub it in gently.

Bake the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Prepare Optional Vegetables (if using)
If you are using asparagus and cherry tomatoes, toss them in a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and arrange them on the baking sheet with the salmon during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
