Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on the pan and nestle the salmon fillets among them.
Whisk together the melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Brush the mixture generously over the salmon and asparagus, then top the salmon with lemon slices.
Roast for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is crisp-tender.
Scatter parsley over the top and serve straight from the pan.

Kitchen tip

Pick asparagus spears about the width of a pencil - thicker stalks need longer than the salmon to cook through, which can throw off the timing.
