Some of the best meals are the ones that come together quietly, without a lot of fuss, and still feel special when they hit the table. This Sheet Pan Salmon and Asparagus is exactly that kind of recipe. Salmon fillets and tender asparagus are lightly marinated in a bright blend of lemon, herbs, and olive oil, then roasted together. It’s an easy, dependable dinner that works just as well for a slow evening at home as it does for a busy weeknight.
