Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 1 pound asparagus
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and place them on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the asparagus, then season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to make the glaze.

Step 5

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the other side of the baking sheet.

Step 6

Brush the honey glaze generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring an even coating.

Step 7

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon to enhance browning.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The asparagus should also be tender yet slightly crisp.

Step 9

For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven, garnish the salmon and asparagus with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
