A flavorful and healthy low-carb dinner featuring baked salmon with lemon and herbs, served with tender asparagus.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
Place asparagus on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with half of the herb mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
Arrange salmon fillets on the baking sheet next to the asparagus. Drizzle the remaining herb mixture over the salmon.
Top each salmon fillet with a few slices of lemon.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender-crisp. Actual cooking time depends on the thickness of the salmon.
Serve immediately.

For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the herb mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
You can substitute other low-carb vegetables like broccoli or green beans for asparagus.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the salmon after baking for an extra burst of flavor.
Adjust the baking time based on your oven and the thickness of the salmon fillets.
