Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Vegetables

  • 4 fresh skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 bunch asparagus spears, woody ends snapped off (about 1 lb)

Honey Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and mince the garlic. Gather all glaze ingredients so they’re ready for use.
  2. Make the honey glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired for a spicy touch.
  3. Arrange salmon and asparagus on the sheet pan: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the pan. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer alongside, spacing them evenly for uniform roasting.
  4. Brush everything with the glaze: Generously brush the honey glaze over both the salmon fillets and asparagus, ensuring each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake and finish: Bake the sheet pan in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp. For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes—watch closely to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Select fresh, wild-caught salmon for better flavor and nutrition.
  • Choose similarly sized asparagus spears to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; leave space between items to promote roasting instead of steaming.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Reserve some glaze to drizzle on the cooked salmon just before serving for extra shine and flavor.
