Aaahhhh salmon season has officially opened here in Washington. I just spied the first Copper River salmon at the store the other day #BeStillMyHeart So this quick and easy Sheet Pan Salmon and Asparagus immediately popped into my head.
It is funny. When I first moved here from San Diego I was not a salmon fan. Actually, I wasn't much of a fish eater at all. Oh, I had my occasional tilapia, but the couple of times I tried salmon left me seriously wondering what all of the hubbub was about. I just wasn't feelin' it.

But over the course of the time that I have lived here, salmon has become an obsession with me. I seriously get all giddy inside when I start seeing those gorgeous fresh-caught fillets gracing the window of the butcher shop.

Think 5 year old at Christmas, yup that's me
So, with salmon on the brain, I decided to bust out one of my new fave ways to cook....sheet pan baby! I do so love a one-pan plan. Less fuss, less muss, less cleanup, YES!

The hardest part of this recipe?

Pulling pin bones, if there are any.

I have a special set of pliers just for that purpose. I love it when people go into my silverware drawer, and ask Ummm why do you have tools in your kitchen drawer?.

In case I need to fix the plumbing while I am cooking!

Some people actually believed me!

WOW, I know my house is old, butt geeeeeeez.
