Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until combined. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet and brush the lemon-honey glaze evenly over each fillet.
  2. Step 2: Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
  3. Step 3: While the salmon bakes, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 lb trimmed fresh asparagus, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, cooking for 5-6 minutes until asparagus is tender-crisp and slightly browned.
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon from the oven and sprinkle with 1 tsp lemon zest. Serve each fillet alongside a generous portion of garlic asparagus.
