1 Lemon
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt or Skyr
2 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the Oven to 400 degrees F
Prepare the Asparagus
Wash asparagus and cut off woody ends. Place on a baking sheet. Peel and mince 4 cloves of garlic and sprinkle over the asparagus. Drizzle asparagus with 2 tbsp of olive oil and toss.

Prepare the Salmon
Wash and pat dry the Salmon and place in the middle of the baking sheet with the asparagus, moving the asparagus to the side
Rub salmon with 2 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt and pepper
Place salmon and asparagus in the oven on the center rack and cook for 10-12 minutes, until salmon is opaque and asparagus is tender. Don't overcook the salmon. When salmon fillets come out of the oven, they should still be just a little bit rare in the center. They'll continue to cook in the residual heat and be perfect when you go to eat them.
