A quick and easy one-pan recipe featuring salmon glazed with a sticky honey garlic sauce and roasted asparagus, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 oz (170g) each
  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb / 450g), trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium, or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, optional, a pinch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line your baking sheet or prepare your oven-safe skillet.
  2. Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends (about 1-2 inches). Rinse and pat dry, then arrange the spears in a single layer on the pan.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, and optional red pepper flakes.
  4. Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with black pepper.
  5. Place salmon skin-side down on the pan next to the asparagus, leaving space for even roasting.
  6. Brush the glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet, reserving some for basting later if desired.
  7. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender but vibrant green.
  8. Optional: Broil for the last 2 minutes to caramelize the glaze, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Spoon any pan juices over salmon and asparagus before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking to help skin crisp. Let salmon sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cooking for even doneness. For thicker asparagus, slice lengthwise for even roasting. Broil at the end for a caramelized glaze but watch closely to avoid burning. Use tamari for gluten-free option. Maple syrup can substitute honey but watch cooking times.
