Baked salmon with lemon, thyme and asparagus

Cooking Fish Baked salmon with lemon, thyme and asparagus

The crisp texture of blanched asparagus plays with the succulent salmon to create a winning meal.

  1. Heat oven to 220°C. Lay four 30cm squares of baking paper on 2 baking trays. Place a salmon fillet on each, then top with lemon slices and a thyme sprig. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil and season. Fold the edges of the paper together to form well-sealed parcels. Bake for 15 minutes until cooked through.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk the mustard, vinegar, tarragon, sugar and remaining oil in a jug. Season, then set the dressing aside.
  3. Blanch the asparagus in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 2 minutes until just tender. Drain well, then keep warm.
  4. Arrange the salmon and blanched asparagus on plates, drizzle with the tarragon dressing and serve.
