Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat 4 salmon fillets dry, then season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp dijon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl until emulsified.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the 1 lb trimmed asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and toss to coat.
  4. Step 4: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the asparagus, then brush generously with the maple-Dijon glaze.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 12-14 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, checking at the 12-minute mark.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven, let rest for 3 minutes, then drizzle with any remaining glaze from the pan. Serve immediately with the roasted asparagus.
