A weeknight winner, this dish features salmon fillets with a sweet and tangy honey Dijon glaze, paired with roasted asparagus for a quick, healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 bunch of asparagus
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or lemon wedges for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and spread them evenly on one side of the baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  4. Pat dry the salmon fillets and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down on the other half of the baking sheet.
  5. Brush the glaze generously over each salmon fillet and drizzle some glaze over the asparagus, tossing gently to coat.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12–15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  7. Optional: Switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes for extra color.
  8. Remove from the oven, let rest for 2–3 minutes, and serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley or lemon wedges, if desired.

Notes

Use room-temperature salmon for even cooking, and reserve some glaze for serving to enhance shine and flavor.
