Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe featuring salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, roasted alongside fresh asparagus for a perfect weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 oz each
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus (about 1 lb), ends trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, a pinch
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  3. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus (about 1 to 2 inches) and pat dry.
  4. Arrange asparagus on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat. Spread in a single layer.
  5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet next to the asparagus. Pat salmon dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  6. Brush the glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet, reserving some glaze for later.
  7. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the salmon and asparagus.
  8. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F (63°C), and asparagus is tender but crisp.
  9. Optional: In the last 2 minutes, brush salmon with reserved glaze again and switch oven to low broil. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to ensure the glaze sticks well. Watch the glaze closely when broiling to prevent burning. Snap asparagus ends instead of cutting for better texture. If glaze is too thin, simmer briefly to thicken before brushing. Do not overcrowd the pan for even roasting.
