Since Father's day is this Sunday, I wanted to spend this week sharing some ideas for meals that you can cook for Dad that he will love, but that won't bust your diet. Now, my Dad is super easy to please, but I can always tell when he enjoys something more than usual, and these are a few of his favorite meals.

For the sides with this delicious salmon dish, I made up my Baked Asparagus, and a quinoa mushroom dish.
Baked Asparagus
Ingredients:
-1 bunch asparagus
-2 tbsp. olive oil
-2 cloves minced garlic
-1 tsp. kosher salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees and line a cooking sheet with foil. Wash and trim the white ends off of the asparagus. Lay the asparagus out on the cooking sheet and spread out
2. Coat the asparagus in the olive oil and sprinkle the garlic and kosher salt over the top. Gently toss the asparagus to fully coat with the oil, garlic, and salt. Place in oven and cook for 15 minutes
I hope you all enjoy this delicious salmon dish, whether or not it is made this Sunday. It's one of my favorite salmon recipes and I make this asparagus all the time.
Happy eating,
