Can I bake this instead of broiling?

Yes, bake at 425 degrees F for about 15 minutes, but you will miss the charred edges the broiler provides.

What kind of salmon works best?

Wild-caught salmon has better flavor and firmer texture, but farmed Atlantic salmon also works.

Ingredients

Marinate the Salmon

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, dijon mustard, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat evenly. Let sit while you prepare the rest, or refrigerate up to an hour for deeper flavor.

Prepare the Vegetables

Trim the asparagus spears and halve the cherry tomatoes if large. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Broil Everything Together

Set the oven broiler to its highest setting and position a rack about 8 inches from the heat source. Arrange the vegetables on a baking tray with the salmon fillets spaced between them. Spray the salmon surface lightly with oil. Broil for 11 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of about 122 degrees F.

Finish and Serve

Transfer the salmon and vegetables to plates. Shower the asparagus with finely grated parmesan, squeeze fresh lemon over the fish, and scatter chopped parsley on top. Serve with crusty bread.

Tips & Variations

Do not overcook the salmon; it continues cooking for a minute after leaving the oven.
Grate the garlic on a microplane for the smoothest marinade.
