Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). On a large sheet pan, arrange 1.5 cups halved baby potatoes and 1.5 cups trimmed asparagus spears. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Step 2: Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder to create the glaze.
  3. Step 3: After 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan and arrange 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) on top of the vegetables. Brush each fillet with the honey glaze and then return to the oven. Roast for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
