A quick and easy honey garlic glazed salmon with roasted asparagus, perfect for a flavorful weeknight dinner that balances sweet and savory flavors.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim the asparagus stalks by snapping off the tough ends. Rinse and pat dry.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet and spread the asparagus around in a single layer.
  5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the asparagus and season everything lightly with freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Brush the salmon generously with the honey garlic glaze.
  7. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily and asparagus is tender but crisp. Optionally baste salmon halfway through with leftover glaze.
  8. For extra caramelization, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon if desired.

Notes

Do not overcook the salmon to keep it moist. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Optionally sear salmon skin-side down in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes before baking for crispier skin. The glaze can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the fridge. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. For a spicy twist, add sriracha or chili paste to the glaze.
