Pesto Salmon With Asparagus
  • Yield 4 servings
  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 (4 oz.) salmon filets, skin on
  • 1 large bunch of asparagus (about 20 spears), ends trimmed
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 cup pesto sauce
  • Juice of one lemon
  • Himalayan or Celtic sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

For the pesto sauce:

  • 2 cups fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts or cashews
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2–3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 tsp. Himalayan or Celtic sea salt
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast

Directions

STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Make the pesto sauce: Use a food processor to combine all ingredients.
STEP 2
Place the salmon and asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. If the asparagus spears are thick, halve them lengthwise first.
STEP 3
Evenly divide the pesto on top of the salmon filets. Drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
STEP 4
Roast for 15 to 18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily.
