1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare Salmon
Take your salmon fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with pink salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Arrange Salmon and Asparagus
Place the salmon fillets in the middle of the prepared baking sheet and arrange the asparagus around them.
4. Prepare Garlic-Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and let it cook for about 3 minutes, until the garlic turns golden-brown.
5. Drizzle Sauce and Sprinkle Cheese
Drizzle the garlic-butter sauce over the salmon and asparagus, making sure to evenly distribute it. Then, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
6. Bake
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes. If you prefer a charred finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 3 minutes.
7. Serve
Once done, serve the salmon and asparagus hot. Enjoy!
Choose fresh, wild-caught salmon for vibrant color and firm flesh, or a high-quality farm-raised alternative. Even thickness is key for uniform cooking.
Use a meat thermometer to achieve the desired doneness, aiming for an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) to 145°F (63°C).
Generously season both the salmon and asparagus with salt and fresh cracked pepper to enhance flavors and create depth.
Use freshly grated high-quality Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for optimal texture and flavor, avoiding pre-grated varieties with anti-caking agents.
Sear the salmon skin-side down before oven-baking to render fat and create a crispy skin.
