Lemon Zest Roasted Asparagus

Fresh, tender asparagus is a delectable taste of spring. It is also a wonderfully nutritious food, high in folate and vitamin K which improves bone health by improving calcium absorption.

For a weeknight dinner, place the Rosemary Honey-Glazed Salmon in the center of the baking sheet and roast salmon and asparagus together.
Serve with brown rice, quinoa or couscous mixed with a handful of finely chopped nuts.
