Chef's Tips

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.
