- Hey everyone, it's Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com.
Today we're making a one-pan salmon
that's juicy, flaky, easy, and wildly delicious.
The flavored butter is gold.
It melts into the salmon as it bakes,
giving the salmon and asparagus amazing flavor.
Start by lining a large rimmed baking sheet
with parchment paper, making sure
the paper isn't hanging over the edges.
Arrange two pounds of salmon filets down the center.
Now on to the asparagus, and we're using
a full two pounds here because this is dinner.
Snap off the fibrous edges and toss them.
Then arrange asparagus around your salmon.
Drizzle and roll the asparagus
with a little bit of olive oil.
Now season everything lightly with salt and pepper.
(upbeat music)
Now on to that incredible flavored butter.
You'll need 1/2 a cup of softened butter
and if you forget to soften it, no problem.
I'll share a quick method in the recipe notes.
Now add two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
along with two teaspoons of finely chopped fresh parsley.
Press two large garlic cloves
and season with a teaspoon of salt
and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Now, you can use a food processor
to whirl this together, but I just use a fork.
It takes a couple minutes, but it will come together.
Seriously though, this flavored butter
smells as good as it tastes.
It's popular for good reason.
Put 3/4 of the butter mixture over your salmon
and dab the rest of it onto the asparagus.
(upbeat music)
Spread the butter evenly over the tops of the salmon filets.
You want every bite to be wildly delicious.
Finally, top the salmon with fresh slices of lemon
and bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes
then broil on high heat for two to three minutes
to give the salmon a golden glow.
Hooo, I am excited! (laughs)
because it's time for the taste test
and it smells so good.
Ah, now to pick a slice.
The big one.
'Cause we're all about big portions around here.
(upbeat music)
Oh.
And some asparagus, lots of asparagus.
Yummy.
The taste test, alright, let's do this
'cause I cannot wait any longer.
Ah, and it is so juicy and flakey.
(upbeat music)
Mm, mm.
Wow.
The combination of fresh parsley,
lemon juice, and garlic is perfect for salmon.
And I love that the flavored butter
doesn't just run off the salmon,
it goes deep into the salmon as it bakes
and it is just so flavorful.
And of course we have to try the asparagus
because it is equally amazing
with that same herb butter on there.
Mmm.
Mm.
Wow.
Mm.
Mmmm.
Now that's dinner.
Make this once and you'll make it again and again.
It is such an easy meal idea.
It comes together quickly and it is always a crowd-pleaser.
