Creating Salmon with Asparagus is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Asparagus: Place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Prepare the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Brush this mixture over the salmon fillets.
4. Arrange the Dish: Place the salmon fillets on the same baking sheet as the asparagus, skin-side down.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
6. Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
7. Serve: Serve immediately while hot, drizzling any remaining juices over the salmon and asparagus.
