Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

Place salmon fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, dill, parsley, and minced garlic. Top each fillet with a lemon slice.

Roast asparagus and salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender-crisp.

While salmon and asparagus are roasting, steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Drain the cauliflower well. Transfer to a food processor or use an immersion blender. Add almond milk, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Stir in butter if desired.

Serve the baked salmon and roasted asparagus alongside the cauliflower mash. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon if desired.

Managing Blood Sugar

"For an extra boost of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the asparagus before roasting. You can also substitute other low-carb vegetables like broccoli or green beans for the asparagus. Ensure your cauliflower is well-drained to prevent a watery mash."
