Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and position the rack in the center.
- Rinse the asparagus, snap off the woody ends, and spread them on a baking sheet.
- Peel and mince the garlic, then sprinkle about two-thirds over the asparagus and reserve the rest for the sauce.
- Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat.
- Place the salmon in the middle of the sheet, shift the asparagus to the sides, then rub the salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast until the salmon is opaque and the asparagus is tender, about 10–12 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, dill, salt, and pepper to make the sauce; cut the remaining lemon into wedges for serving; plate the salmon and asparagus, drizzle with sauce, and add lemon wedges.
Two tips
- Make the sauce a bit ahead if you like, then cover and refrigerate for up to a day.
- Leftovers reheat gently; serve with a side of bread or rice if desired.
