Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, toss 1 pound trimmed asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, season 4 salmon fillets with 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper on both sides.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 minced garlic cloves to make the glaze.
  6. Step 6: Brush the honey-mustard glaze generously over the cooked salmon fillets and cook for another 1 minute to warm the glaze.
  7. Step 7: Serve the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus for a balanced, flavorful meal.
