Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Salmon Fillet s 5-6 oz
  • 1 Parsnip
  • 1 Leek
  • 8-12 asparagus spears
  • 1.5 tsp vegetable or chicken bouillon
  • 1 Lemon sliced
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Optional: Cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
  • Roughly slice the parsnip and boil in 2 cups of water for 15-20 minutes. Salt the water well and add 1.5tsp of bouillon.
  • Get a baking tray and line with foil. Place asparagus on the tray (cut about 1 inch from the ends) and drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the lemon into thin strips.
  • Place the salmon on the baking tray as well, drizzling with oil, seasoning with salt and pepper, and finally placing the lemon strips on top of the salmon.
  • Place the salmon and asparagus in the oven for 20-25 minutes (check after 15 minutes because depending on the size of your asparagus, it may be finished sooner than the salmon).
  • In the meantime, cut the leek in half, length-wise, and then cut into half-moon slices
  • About 10 minutes before the salmon is done, start sauteeing the leeks by placing them in a pan with olive oil for 5-7 minutes on medium-high heat.
  • The parsnips should be boiled. Put in food processor with 1tsp of the water and whizz until smooth (30 seconds to 1 minute).
  • When everything is cooked, arrange on plate and eat!

Notes
