Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes until smooth.
2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the sheet pan, and arrange 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears on the other side. Drizzle 3 tbsp olive oil evenly over the asparagus and salmon, then season both with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
3. Step 3: Brush the citrus-ginger glaze liberally over the salmon fillets, reserving a small amount for serving.
4. Step 4: Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender but still crisp.
5. Step 5: Remove from oven and spoon any remaining glaze over the salmon. Serve immediately with roasted asparagus alongside.
