Pre-heat oven to 200°C/400°F/Fan 180°C/Gas Mark 6. Trim about 3cm away from the woody ends of the asparagus and arrange flat on baking tray. Brush with 1tbsp olive oil and season well.
Wash and pat dry the salmon. Season all over, and place on top of the asparagus. Drizzle lightly with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the thyme and lime juice. Bake in the oven for about 25 mins until tender and cooked through.
To serve, drain well and serve each portion of asparagus and salmon, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and garnished with fresh lime and thyme.
