Roasted Salmon with Lemon & Dates

This salmon recipe might just break the internet.

We’re talking tender baked salmon over asparagus… layered with garlic, lemon, Sergio’s Seasoning from Golden Steer, a generous glug of Terra Delyssa olive oil, and the secret ingredient that makes it unforgettable… chopped Deglet Noor dates from Terra Delyssa. (Find them at Costco online or TerraDelyssa.com.)

When those dates roast with the salmon, garlic, and olive oil, something magical happens. The sweetness melts into the savory juices, creating the kind of sauce you’ll want to drink with a spoon. I sprinkle on a little harissa powder for warmth, roast at 400°F for 20 minutes, then drop in a couple pats of butter after baking for the richest, silkiest finish. Serve over rice and prepare to be obsessed.
