Chef's Tips
- Skin Tip: For crispier skin, place salmon skin-side down in a hot oven-safe skillet before transferring to oven.
- Herb Options: Substitute dill and parsley with thyme or rosemary for different flavor profiles.
- Don't Overcook: Salmon is done when it reaches 145°F internally - it will continue cooking after removal from oven.
- Vegetable Variations: Swap asparagus for green beans or zucchini if preferred.
- Meal Prep: This dish refrigerates well for up to 2 days - reheat gently in oven or enjoy cold.
