Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth.
Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet and brush each fillet generously with half of the maple-Dijon glaze. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Toss 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears with 2 tbsp olive oil, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Arrange asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet around the salmon.
Step 4: Roast salmon and asparagus in the oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven, brush salmon with remaining glaze, and roast for an additional 3-4 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender-crisp.
Step 5: Drizzle remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over asparagus before serving alongside the glazed salmon.
