#1 Favorite Recipe We Tried This Week:
Honey-Glazed Salmon with Roasted Asparagus 🐟✨
Why You’ll Love It:
This recipe combines the rich flavors of tender, flaky salmon and honey’s natural sweetness, balanced perfectly with fresh, roasted asparagus.
The omega-3s in salmon help nourish your skin from within, and asparagus delivers vital nutrients for a radiant glow. Plus, it’s a quick, easy, and elegant dish to whip up any night of the week!
Ingredients:
- For the Salmon:
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (Optional, for a hint of tang)
- For the Asparagus:
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard (if using).
- Season the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the honey glaze generously over the salmon.
- Roast the Asparagus: In a separate section of the baking sheet, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it out evenly.
- Bake: Roast the salmon and asparagus in the oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The asparagus should be tender but still crisp.
- Serve: Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus, drizzle with any remaining glaze, and garnish with a lemon wedge if desired.
