Gently baking salmon in a low-temperature oven ensures a moist and succulent fillet and only takes about 15 minutes. The asparagus cooks on the same baking sheet, making clean-up a breeze.

Cooks' Note

If asparagus spears are thick, increase initial baking time to 10 minutes before adding the salmon fillets to the baking sheet. If you prefer your salmon more well done, increase cooking time by 5 minutes and check for doneness.
