Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, grated garlic, cooking salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
  2. Slather the marinade onto the top and sides of the salmon. If time permits, marinate for about an hour.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your oven grill or broiler to 280°C/525°F, placing the oven shelf about 20 cm/8 inches from the heat source.
  2. Toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with extra olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a large baking tray, leaving space for the salmon.
  3. Place the marinated salmon onto the tray and spray the surface with olive oil. Grill or broil for about 11 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily, reaching an internal temperature of 50°C/122°F.
Serving
  1. Carefully transfer the salmon and vegetables to plates. Grate Parmesan over the veggies, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon, and garnish with parsley if desired.
  2. Enjoy it with some crusty bread or toast.
