Sheet-Pan Salmon & Asparagus
One pan, one dinner, one dish to wash. Math checks out.
Lazy-Genius Lore
The whole meal roasts on a single sheet pan while you do literally anything else. Salmon on one side, asparagus on the other, lemon over everything, and cleanup is a piece of foil in the trash. (Adapted from your 18 Seafood Weeknight Meals list — R3.)

✂️ Trim Trim Trim
Nothing to trim on the salmon. The oil is split between the fish and the vegetables — 2 tbsp total across a whole dinner for two — so no single component is swimming in it. Lean by design.
