Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade

  • Combine parsley, rosemary, desiccated coconut, minced garlic, coconut oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.

Prepare the Salmon

  • Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the marinade evenly over each fillet.

Roast the Salmon

  • Bake uncovered at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Blanch the Asparagus

  • Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add salt. Peel the lower two-thirds of each asparagus spear. Add asparagus to boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking and preserve color. Drain.

Blanch the Carrots

  • Bring another pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and cut carrots into desired shapes. Add carrots to boiling water and cook for 5-6 minutes until tender. Immediately transfer to an ice bath. Drain.

Serve

  • Serve the roasted salmon hot with the blanched asparagus and carrots. Garnish as desired.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For extra flavor, marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes before roasting.
  • Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Experiment with other herbs and spices to customize the marinade to your liking. Dill, thyme, or even a pinch of chili flakes would be delicious additions.
  • To make this a complete meal, serve with a side of quinoa or brown rice.
