Print Recipe

A quick and delicious weeknight dinner featuring tender salmon and roasted asparagus coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, all cooked on a single sheet pan for minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170g each)
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil, divided
  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb / 450g), woody ends snapped off
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the glaze for later.
  3. Place the asparagus on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread in a single layer on one side of the pan.
  4. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the other side of the pan. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the tops and sides of the salmon fillets.
  6. Roast for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature of 125°F/52°C for medium). For extra caramelization, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully.
  7. Remove from the oven and brush the reserved glaze over the hot salmon. Let rest for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat the salmon dry for better browning. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Watch the cooking time closely to avoid overcooking. Line the pan for easy cleanup. Let salmon rest before serving.
