This easy baked salmon dinner brings together flaky lemon-dill salmon, roasted Parmesan asparagus, a crisp side salad, and warm bread for a complete meal. It is simple enough for a weeknight but polished enough to serve guests, with fresh flavors and minimal hands-on work.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Trim the asparagus, rinse and pat the salmon dry, and prepare the salad ingredients so everything is ready to assemble.

Make the side salad by combining the mixed lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, and feta in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate, and wait to add the dressing until just before serving.

Lightly oil a baking dish or sheet pan with garlic olive oil. Season the pan lightly with garlic powder, black pepper, and a small pinch of sea salt.

Place the salmon in the prepared pan. Brush or drizzle with garlic olive oil, then season with lemon juice, chopped dill, garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt.

Arrange the asparagus on a second pan or on the same tray if there is enough space. Coat lightly with garlic olive oil, drizzle with lemon juice, season with sea salt, and sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the top.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until the fish flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Turn the asparagus once halfway through cooking so it roasts evenly.

Just before serving, toss the salad with ranch dressing and finish with a little black pepper if desired. Warm the bread or rolls while the salmon rests for 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve the salmon with the Parmesan asparagus, dressed salad, warm bread, honey butter, lemon wedges, and hollandaise sauce if using. Garnish with extra dill and lemon slices if desired.

Use center-cut salmon fillets or a side of salmon of even thickness so it cooks evenly. If the asparagus is thin, remove it a few minutes before the salmon is done to prevent overcooking. Leftover salmon and asparagus can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
