The kind of dinner that feels like more effort than it is: one tray, one wash-up, and salmon that comes out flaky and buttery every time. Good for a weeknight, easy to scale up for more people by adding another tray.

Serves 2 Prep 10 mins Cook 15 mins

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets
1 bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon, half juiced and half sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp chilli flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C (400F). Line a baking tray with foil or baking paper.
Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread over one side of the tray.
Mix the melted butter, garlic, and lemon juice together. Place the salmon fillets on the other side of the tray and brush generously with the garlic butter.
Season the salmon and scatter over the chilli flakes if using. Top with a couple of lemon slices.
Roast for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and the asparagus is tender.
Scatter with fresh parsley and serve straight from the tray.

Tip: Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork but still looks slightly translucent in the very centre — it'll finish cooking as it rests.
