Ingredients

4 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, lemon zest, and salt.
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and sprinkle the pepper and lemon mixture evenly over the top.
Place the salmon on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
