Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed

Honey Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare the Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  3. Arrange Salmon and Asparagus: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the sheet pan. Arrange the trimmed asparagus in a single layer on the other side.
  4. Brush the Glaze: Generously brush the honey glaze over both the salmon and asparagus to coat thoroughly, ensuring a glossy and flavorful finish.
  5. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender yet crisp. Optionally, broil for the last 2 minutes to caramelize and crisp the tops.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to settle before serving.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, wild-caught salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Trim woody ends of asparagus by snapping them off to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to promote proper roasting and caramelization.
  • Watch the salmon carefully to avoid overbaking and drying out the fish.
  • Let the dish rest after baking for deeper flavor and juiciness.
  • Using parchment paper or foil makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar if preferred.
  • Use fresh herbs like dill, thyme, or parsley as garnish for added freshness.
