Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim woody ends from asparagus and arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt, and toss to coat. Roast for 12-14 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred at the tips.
  2. Step 2: While asparagus roasts, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Step 4: Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 4 minutes until skin is golden and crisp. Carefully flip salmon and spoon 1 tbsp glaze over each fillet.
  5. Step 5: Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 6-7 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste with remaining glaze during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  6. Step 6: Remove salmon from skillet, place on a plate with roasted asparagus, and drizzle with any remaining pan sauce. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
