Tree Nut Free Sheet Pan Salmon with Asparagus and Lemon-Herb Drizzle
Bright, weeknight-friendly, and genuinely impressive, this sheet pan dinner brings together golden-crusted salmon and tender roasted asparagus in one easy cleanup situation. The garlic-turmeric rub gives the fish a warm, earthy depth that pairs beautifully with the fresh lemon rounds layered on top before it all goes into a hot 425°F oven. Once everything comes out perfectly roasted, a quick herb drizzle of parsley, thyme, and fresh lemon juice ties the whole dish together with a pop of brightness. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts — no swaps needed, no label-scanning required, just clean, whole-food cooking from start to finish. That's genuinely rare with salmon dishes that sometimes sneak in almond-crusted preparations or nut-based sauces. The optional red pepper flakes add a subtle kick if you want it, but the dish is completely satisfying without them. It's the kind of meal that looks like you tried much harder than you actually did.
