Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, dried ginger, and black pepper to create the glaze.
- Place the salmon fillets on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Place the trimmed asparagus on the other side.
- Brush half of the honey garlic glaze evenly over the salmon fillets.
- Drizzle the remaining glaze over the asparagus spears, tossing lightly to coat.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp and slightly charred.
- Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
Notes
- For extra char on the asparagus, you can briefly place the pan under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- This recipe works well for spring meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
