Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet; brush with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp pure maple syrup with 1 tbsp water; brush evenly over salmon, then place in oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: Cook wild rice according to package instructions (usually 40 minutes); drain excess water and fluff with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a separate baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes until crisp-tender and slightly charred at edges.
  5. Step 5: Mix cooked wild rice with 1 tbsp fresh dill; plate salmon atop rice, garnish with roasted asparagus and a drizzle of reserved glaze from the baking sheet.
