Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and arrange the spears around the salmon fillets on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the zest of 1 lemon, and the juice of half the lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle the lemon and olive oil mixture over the salmon fillets and asparagus, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Optionally, slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and place them on top of the salmon for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon zest if desired.
