Ingredients

• 2 fillets salmon fillets, approximately 6 oz each
• 8 oz asparagus, woody ends trimmed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 1/2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp finely grated fresh ginger, optional
• a few lemon wedges, for serving
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley or thinly sliced scallions, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425F.
2. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil it.
3. Toss asparagus with olive oil and half the salt and pepper.
4. Arrange asparagus on one side of the pan.
5. Pat salmon dry and season with remaining salt.
6. Place salmon skin-side down on the other side of the pan.
7. Whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic, Dijon, lemon juice and optional ginger together.

9. Roast salmon and asparagus for 8 minutes.
10. Brush salmon with additional glaze.
11. Continue roasting approximately 3-6 minutes, depending on thickness and desired doneness.

Chef's Notes

Salmon cooking time varies considerably with fillet thickness. For especially thick fillets, rely on internal temperature and texture rather than strictly following the clock.
