Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss trimmed asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a large sheet pan. Arrange salmon fillets skin-side down on top of asparagus.
  2. Step 2: Whisk maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush half the glaze evenly over salmon fillets.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 12-14 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender-crisp with slightly charred edges.
  4. Step 4: Remove pan from oven and brush remaining glaze over salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh lemon wedges.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute, then slice salmon and serve with asparagus.

How do I store leftover Sheet Pan Maple-Glazed Salmon with Asparagus?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep maple syrup from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Sheet Pan Maple-Glazed Salmon with Asparagus?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Sheet Pan Maple-Glazed Salmon with Asparagus for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
