INSTRUCTIONS
Prep the filling:
Mix ricotta, Parmesan, dill, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Roll the salmon:
Lay salmon fillets flat. Spread 2 tbsp filling on each, then roll tightly (like a sushi roll). Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Roast the asparagus:
Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 8 mins.
Add salmon & bake:
Push asparagus to the sides. Place salmon rolls seam-side down in the center. Brush
with olive oil.
Bake 12-15 mins until salmon flakes easily.
Serve:
Drizzle asparagus with lemon juice. Garnish salmon with extra herbs and lemon wedges.
💡 PRO TIPS:
No ricotta? Use whipped cream cheese or goat cheese.
Extra flavor: Add 1 tsp capers or ½ tsp Dijon mustard to the filling.
Crispier top? Broil 1-2 mins at the end.
