Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 2 minced garlic cloves until smooth and well combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the honey-mustard glaze. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: While salmon marinates, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb trimmed asparagus and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until bright green and just tender.
  4. Step 4: Bake the glazed salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Serve the salmon hot alongside the sautéed asparagus, spooning any pan juices over the top.
