Does the asparagus actually cook well in that short period of time? I was told asparagus takes at least 40 minutes to bake.
I prefer asparagus to have a crunch to it, so roasting the asparagus for 20 minutes in the preheated oven at 400 F is usually enough. Make sure your oven is preheated to 400 F.
IS THAT A LITTLE BIT OF GREEN ONION I SEE TOO?
Yes, there is a little bit of chopped green onion on top of the cooked salmon, along with the chopped fresh parsley. I love green onions and add them to lots of dishes as garnish.
Can I use foil instead of parchment paper?
Absolutely!
