Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp lime juice in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Brush salmon fillets with 1 tbsp olive oil, then pour the prepared glaze evenly over the top. Arrange 1 lb trimmed asparagus around the salmon on the baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 15-18 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender with slightly crisp edges.

How do I store leftover Honey-Sriracha Glazed Salmon with Roasted Asparagus?

Refrigerate in a covered airtight container for up to 3–4 days (FDA FoodKeeper guideline for cooked fish).

How do I scale Honey-Sriracha Glazed Salmon with Roasted Asparagus for a different number of people?
