Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on (about 1 to 1.5 inches thick each)
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed

Honey Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. This glaze will coat both the salmon and asparagus, providing a beautiful caramelized finish.
  2. Arrange Salmon and Asparagus: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup, place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Arrange the trimmed asparagus spears evenly around the salmon.
  3. Apply the Glaze: Using a brush or spoon, generously coat both the salmon and asparagus with the honey glaze. Ensure every piece is well covered to guarantee maximum flavor and caramelization during roasting.
  4. Roast Until Perfect: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp. For a lightly caramelized top, finish with a quick broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the sheet pan from the oven, let the salmon rest for a minute, then serve warm with your favorite sides or garnishes for a wholesome, delightful meal.

Notes

  • Pat Dry the Salmon: Remove excess moisture to help the glaze stick and the salmon to sear beautifully.
  • Even-Sized Asparagus: Trim asparagus to uniform thickness for even cooking.
  • No Overcrowding: Give space between salmon and asparagus so they roast evenly and develop great texture.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and lemon juice make a noticeable difference in brightness and flavor.
  • Watch the Broil: Keep a close eye during broiling to avoid burning the honey glaze.
