Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Trim asparagus ends, toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then arrange on a baking sheet.
2. Step 2: Pat salmon dry, then rub with 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place salmon skin-side down on a separate baking sheet.
3. Step 3: Squeeze juice from half the lime over salmon, then scatter minced garlic and chopped dill over the top.
4. Step 4: Roast salmon and asparagus for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Step 5: Whisk honey, remaining lime juice, and 1 tbsp water in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle glaze over salmon just before serving, ensuring it coats the fillets evenly without soaking in.
