Salmon and Asparagus
Salmon and Asparagus bathed in Lemon Piccata Sauce is irresistibly delicious and on your table in 25 minutes! This Salmon and Asparagus recipe is outrageously delicious, gloriously flavorful and deeply satisfying. Best of all, it looks impressive but is SO easy to make all in one skillet for easy prep and cleanup, perfect for all those busy nights! The salmon gets dredged in in flour and seasonings, is lightly pan fried until golden, then drenched in an intoxicating lemon, butter caper sauce. The resulting Lemon Butter Salmon truly tastes better than the finest restaurant at a fraction of the price and did I say ready in 25 minutes already? You can cook just the salmon and sauce or swap out the asparagus for whatever veggies you love or have on hand. Serve this one pot Salmon and Asparagus plain or over pasta, potatoes or rice or low carb zoodles, cauliflower rice etc. for a simple salmon recipe that will have everyone singing your praises and licking their plates.
