Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus trimmed
  • 1/2 cup fresh herbs mix of parsley, dill, and chives
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a food processor, pulse the fresh herbs, panko, garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until well combined but still slightly coarse.
  • Brush each salmon fillet with Dijon mustard, then press the herb mixture firmly onto the top of each fillet.
  • Toss the asparagus with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  • Place the salmon on the same baking sheet, surrounding it with the asparagus spears.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice over both the salmon and asparagus before serving.
