Background
This zingy lemon baked salmon with asparagus is perfect for Summer evenings or special lunches all year round. It’s delicate, healthy, low-cal and low-carb, yet quite filling. Serve it with a mash (such as celeriac or potatoes) or quinoa, couscous, rice, green salad - or with grilled vegetables on the side.

- 4 wild Alaskan salmon steaks
- 1 lemon, zested
- ½ glass white wine
- Couple of pinches Chili flakes, to taste
- Salt and pepper
- 1 bunch asparagus
- Dill or chive, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Cut the lemon into thin rings and put each salmon steak on top of one of them in a baking dish.
- Season with salt and pepper, scatter some chilli flakes and the lemon zest on top, the pour over the wine.
- Put the remaining lemon rings on top the fish, then drizzle with olive oil.
- Cover the dish with foil, then bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut off and discard the woody ends of the asparagus.
- Remove the foil and arrange the asparagus around the fish.
- Cover again, then steam for 5-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus and the fish steaks.
