Asparagus and salmon is a classic pairing that goes together exceptionally well. If you’re looking for a simple and easy dinner to create at home when you’re running low on time (but still want to stay healthy), consider adding this dish to your rotation. It’s a perfect keto meal that can be scaled up easily based on how many people you’re cooking for.
This is very versatile in the way you can change up the spices to suit your own tastes. You can use any dry herb seasoning if you want to change up the flavor profile: old bay, tarragon, or dill would do great sprinkled over the top and bottom of the salmon. I could also see a chili-based seasoning with a squeeze of lime juice (instead of lemon) as the finisher being great, too!
