Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sriracha sauce, and 2 tbsp olive oil until fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the baking sheet. Arrange 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears on the other side.
  4. Step 4: Brush each salmon fillet generously with half of the honey-sriracha glaze. Toss the asparagus with the remaining glaze, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to coat evenly.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
