_Sips coffee and gets ready to share my absolute favorite dinner recipe with you all_
Ladies and gents, let me tell you about a dish that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance – my Mediterranean-inspired Herb-Crusted Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce and Roasted Garlic Asparagus. Trust me, this one’s a show-stopper that’ll have your family thinking you secretly enrolled in culinary school!
Let’s get cooking, shall we? 🍽️
What you’ll need (because being prepared is totally our thing):
– 4 fresh salmon fillets
– 2 bunches of asparagus
– 4 cloves of garlic (or more, I won’t judge!)
– Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley)
– 2 lemons
– Butter (the real deal, honey)
– Olive oil
– Salt and pepper
– Panko breadcrumbs
First things first, preheat that oven to 400°F (205°C). While it’s heating up, let’s prep our salmon. Pat those fillets dry – nobody likes soggy fish, am I right?
Mix your panko with finely chopped herbs, a pinch of salt, and a twist of pepper. Brush the salmon with olive oil and press that herby mixture on top. It should look like it’s wearing a fancy green coat!
Now, for the asparagus – trim those woody ends (you know, the tough parts nobody wants to eat). Toss them with olive oil, sliced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Place your salmon and asparagus on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven for about 12-15 minutes. While that’s working its magic, let’s make our sauce (this is where things get really good!).
In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the juice of one lemon, a minced garlic clove, and a splash of white wine if you’re feeling fancy (and hey, pour yourself a glass while you’re at it – you deserve it!).
Once everything’s done, plate it up like the kitchen queen you are! Salmon goes in the center, asparagus arranged elegantly on the side, and drizzle that heavenly lemon butter sauce all over.
The result? A restaurant-worthy dinner that’s actually good for you! The omega-3s in salmon are amazing for your skin (hello, natural glow!), and asparagus is packed with vitamins and fiber.
Before you dive in, snap a pic for the ‘gram – this dish is too pretty not to show off!
