Garlic Butter Sheet Pan Salmon & Asparagus from Chrissy Teigen

Please check out her site! The recipe can be found here.

Ingredients:
skin-on, center-cut salmon fillets (about 1 ¾ to 2 pounds)
bunch asparagus
lemons
stick unsalted butter, softened (but not melted!)
tablespoons minced garlic
tablespoon dried parsley 
teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
good drizzle of olive oil (for the pan)
   freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning

Directions:
Make the magic butter:

Zest one of the lemons into a medium bowl (reserve the lemon), then add the softened butter, garlic, parsley, and salt. Mix it up really good and set aside.

For the Sheet Pan:

Preheat the oven to 450°F. 

Cut or snap the whiter ends off the asparagus. Halve both the reserved zested lemon and the second lemon. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. (Makes clean up easier!)

Generously drizzle some olive oil onto the foil. Arrange the salmon, halved lemons, and asparagus so it’s nice and pretty.

Now it’s butter time! Go crazy and schmear most of it on the salmon, but also dot some on the asparagus. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top.

Pop it into the oven for 11–14 minutes or so, depending on how you like your salmon. (Less time in the oven is more tender.)

Once cooked, remove from oven and tilt your pan and spoon more of that melty butter goodness onto your filets. Season with more salt and pepper, if you want. Squeeze the roasted lemon juice all over the top.
