Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp orange juice
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
• 1 lb trimmed asparagus
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 1 lb trimmed asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper on a baking sheet, then roast for 12 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
2. Step 2: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tbsp orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp honey, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill. Simmer over medium heat for 3 minutes until the liquid reduces by half and coats the back of a spoon.
3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 salmon fillets with 1/4 tsp salt and pepper, then sear for 4 minutes per side until golden brown and flaky. Pour the citrus glaze over the salmon and cook for 1 more minute to let the flavors meld.
