Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each)
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed (about 1 lb / 450 g)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. Spread the asparagus evenly on one side of the sheet pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and glossy.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down on the other half of the sheet pan, leaving space between each piece.
- Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the salmon fillets and asparagus.
- Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Check at 12 minutes; salmon should flake easily and skin should be crispy. Broil asparagus for 1-2 minutes if more color is desired, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let salmon rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Pat salmon dry before cooking to ensure crispy skin. Use high heat (425°F) for best results. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Broil asparagus briefly at the end for extra crispness if desired. Let salmon rest after cooking for better texture. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a low oven to avoid drying out.
