Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 1 bunch trimmed asparagus with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
  2. Step 2: Whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Pat 4 salmon fillets dry and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Place salmon skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy and golden.
  4. Step 4: Flip salmon and spoon 1/4 of the soy glaze over the top. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until salmon is cooked through to your liking. Remove salmon from skillet and keep warm.
  5. Step 5: Stir 3 thinly sliced scallions into the remaining glaze in the skillet and heat gently for 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the salmon and serve immediately with roasted asparagus.
