Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place asparagus on a baking sheet, toss with 1 tsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper. Roast for 12 minutes until crisp-tender, flipping halfway.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, 1 tsp lavender, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pat salmon fillets dry and season skin with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Place skin-side down in a cold skillet, then heat over medium-low for 4 minutes to render fat and crisp skin.
  4. Step 4: Flip salmon and spoon 1/2 of the lavender-honey glaze over top. Cook for 5-6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
  5. Step 5: Brush remaining glaze over salmon and top with minced garlic. Transfer salmon to a plate with roasted asparagus, drizzling with pan juices.
