This one pan salmon and asparagus is so quick and easy to prepare and you’ll have dinner on the table in 25 minutes!! Want to know a secret? The flavored butter is the same that I used on my wildly popular turkey recipe. Make it once and you’ll realize that flavored butter is what we call “gold” in the recipe world.

The garlic-herb-lemon butter melts, penetrating deep into the salmon and coats the asparagus with ridiculously amazing flavor. You’ll savor every bite! This is absolutely special occasion delicious, but is easy enough to treat your family on a busy weeknight. Great big, delicious thank you to the Salmon Council for sponsoring this recipe.

Watch How to Make Easy Salmon and Asparagus:


My kids LOVED this salmon and asparagus, which is a BIG DEAL. My 2-year old had her mouth open like a little bird before I could get more salmon on the fork. Yeah, that made me feel pretty good knowing that salmon is full of brain and heart boosting Omega 3 fatty acids. P.S. I’ve been making this salmon with 6 Tbsp butter instead of 8 and it works just as well which is why the recipe states 6 Tbsp butter.

Ingredients for Roasted Salmon and Asparagus:

1 1/2 to 2 lb salmon filet
2 bunches (2 lbs) asparagus
Salt and Black Pepper
1 Tbsp Olive Oil, to drizzle asparagus
1/2 large lemon, sliced into rings for garnish

For the Flavored Butter:

6 Tbsp (85 grams)* unsalted butter, softened (**see quick softening tip)
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 large lemon)
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped, plus more to garnish
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

*If you want to make this dish a little lighter, you can reduce the butter to 6 Tbsp. Keep in mind alot of the butter stays in the pan and isn’t eaten, but it sure does flavor everything really well!
**How to Quickly Soften Butter: Place wrapped stick of butter in airtight ziploc bag and submerge the bag in warm (100˚F), not hot, water, placing a weight over the top so it does’t float. Let sit 10 -15 minutes or until softened.

How to Make One-Pan Salmon and Asparagus:

Prep: Preheat oven to 450˚F with oven rack in top third of the oven (place rack 1 level up from the center.) Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper so edges barely go past the borders. If you don’t trim the paper to fit the pan, it can char in the oven, especially when you broil.

1. In a small bowl, mash together all flavored butter ingredients, mashing and stirring until lemon juice is incorporated into butter then set aside. It takes a couple minutes but it will come together, don’t worry :).

2. Place salmon filet skin-side-down long-ways in the center of your baking pan. Rinse asparagus and break off ends by holding the base end and breaking it wherever it snaps – this ensures the ends will not be too fibrous/chewy. Arrange asparagus around salmon, drizzle asparagus lightly with olive oil. Roll asparagus to coat lightly in oil and sprinkle both asparagus and salmon with salt and pepper.

3. Spoon and spread 3/4 of butter mixture evenly over salmon. Dot asparagus with remaining herb butter. Scatter with slices of lemon and bake at 450˚F for 10-12 mins (smaller 1 1/2 lb thinner fillet will take 10 min and a larger 2 lb fillet will take 12 min), then turn the oven to Broil on High and broil 2-3 minutes to give the salmon a golden glow.

February is American Heart Month and incorporating more salmon in your diet has so many benefits for heart health including Omega 3 fatty acids (did you know salmon is one of the best natural sources of omega 3’s?). Salmon is also rich in DHA and EPA which helps to increase the “good” cholesterol that you want – helping to clean your arteries, and improve circulation to your heart. It also helps to reduce inflammation, regulate blood pressure and reduce the risk of blood clots.

And – it just tastes truly amazing! My husband called this “5-star restaurant quality” and he walked over for a refill ;).

    Looks like I’m the only one who had this problem – I made it exactly per recipe. But the asparagus turned out waaaaay overcooked – limp & shriveled. Tasted good, but next time I’m putting it in halfway through the cooking.

      Hi Berni, thanks for sharing that. If you are using very slim asparagus spears, they will cook faster in which case, it is a good idea to put them in later. Also, if you prefer a more crisp asparagus they can go in later in the cooking process.

    Hi Natasha,

    I’m sorry if this is a repeat question but instead of using salmon, will this recipe work with chicken thighs? I only have chicken thighs in my refrigerator and need to use them.

      Hi Fivi, I think that would be fine but I have not tested this specific recipe with chicken thighs to advise. You may need to adjust the oven temperature and make sure the meat is cooked through to 165℉ for safe consumption. You can reference this chicken thigh recipe for ideas. I hope that helps.

    I usually pan-fry salmon and simply steam the asparagus to accompany it, just adding salt & pepper in the belief that it needs no more flavouring than that. However tonight after watching your video, I decided to try this recipe and am I glad I did! A wonderful recipe, so easy and yet so elegant and delicious. We loved it and it’s goodbye to pan-fried from now on. Thanks Natasha for yet another stunning recipe.

    Hi Natasha, I am a big fan of yours and have referred your website to many a friend. Your recipes are great and I haven’t found one yet that I didn’t like!! With summer coming I cook a lot on the grill, can I prepare this salmon sealed in heavy duty foil and put on the grill? If so, on what temp and for how long? Sorry no time to read all reviews to see if anyone asked already!!

      I made this on the grill. I used foil instead of parchment paper, salmon with skin on, and cooked it at about 400 degrees. Gave it a little longer to cook, and it turned out perfectly!

    Just got finished prepping, it took me 45 minutes. Then the butter wouldn’t spread on the salmon. It took me 10 minutes to stir the butter mixture alone. Not happy with this so far, praying it tastes good.

      Hi Jill, patting the salmon dry with papertowels helps for it to go on easier and it’s ok if all of the lemon doesn’t blend into the butter – it will all turn out delicious as the butter melts, and it all melds together in the oven.

    Parchment paper is only safe up to 425 degrees & you call for 450 degrees & then broil??? Maybe why it smoked a lot?

    • Natasha
      August 17, 2020

      Hi, make sure you don’t have excess parchment going above the rim of the baking sheet. I haven’t had it smoke, but you can skip the broiling at the end and bake an extra few minutes or until the salmon is cooked through. Also, make sure not to use an extra virgin olive oil which has a lower smoke point.

    Hello Natasha,

    Thank you for the recipe. Recipe was OK, but not what I was expecting. I was expecting something special in this recipe, some special taste.

      Hi Alla, the ingredients in this recipe are simple but work really well together and should normally have plenty of flavor. Did you possibly omit something? Also, be sure to use fresh ingredients (fresh parsley, garlic and freshly squeezed lemon juice) – the substitutes will not be as good.

    From all the seafood and fish, I love salmon the most. This recipe looked fresh to me as it was a perfect blend of butter, asparagus, garlic and herb with salmon. I will surely try it soon and impress my fellow chefs who work with me.

    Can I use rosemary instead of parsley? I currently don’t have any parsley.

      Hi Kenia, I really haven’t tested it to say for sure if it would work well. Rosemary is pretty strong in flavor so it would probably change the flavor profile. One of my readers mentioned adding rosemary to the mixture with parsley and he said it tasted great but I don’t know what proportions he used…

    Hi Natasha. My kids are not a fan of asparagus. Would I be able to replace it with green beans instead? Just wondering if it will cook the same or not

      Hi Stacey, I think you could make it work with fresh green beans but check on them before you do the broiling step. They might be fully baked by then and if they are at your desired doneness, remove them before broiling the salmon.

    Hi Natasha – I found that the unsalted butter mixture tended to harden up after sitting about 30 minutes in the bowl. I heated in the microwave for abot 7 seconds, twice, on high – this softened the butter mix well enough to spread. Oh, and I dried off the meat of the salmon – the butter tended to not stick easily to the moist raw salmon. I used fennel – a somewhat more pungent herb than parsely. Asparagus was on sale here in Seattle for $1.98 a pound!

      Hi Ksusha, I haven’t tried that but I imagine it would work. Tilapia is generally thinner cut than salmon but it’s also not as sensitive to being overcooked as salmon so you might still be ok with the same cooking time. Let me know how it goes if you try with tilapia

        Well now that I tried it on a cheap tilapia I know its worth making with a nice salmon fillet and I assume it would taste much better with salmon.
        We had mashed potatoes on the side.
        5 star (pretty) healthy meal 🙂
        Just gotta remember to salt the asparagus really nice next time 😆
