Preheat oven to 450°F with oven rack in top third of oven.
2
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and trim the edges to fit the pan to prevent charring.

Place the salmon fillet, skin-side down, in the center of the baking sheet.

Rinse asparagus and snap off the fibrous ends.

Arrange asparagus around the salmon and drizzle it lightly with olive oil. Toss to coat.

Season both the salmon and asparagus with salt and pepper.
8
Spread 3/4 of the herb butter mixture over the salmon.
9
Dot the asparagus with the remaining herb butter.
10
Scatter lemon slices over the salmon and asparagus.
11
Bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes, then switch the oven to broil on high for 2-3 minutes to give the salmon a golden crust.

Cook until the salmon is flaky and asparagus is tender.
