Description
A quick and flavorful recipe for honey mustard salmon and asparagus, perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner. This dish features succulent salmon fillets and tender asparagus roasted with a tangy honey mustard glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)
- 1 bunch asparagus (around 1 lb), trimmed
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for asparagus
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Arrange trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Remove salmon from marinade and place skin-side down on the baking sheet next to the asparagus.
- Drizzle the remaining marinade over the salmon fillets.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily and asparagus is tender-crisp.
- Garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- For even cooking, ensure salmon fillets are similar in thickness. Adjust baking time if necessary.
- If asparagus stalks are very thick, consider cutting them in half lengthwise.
- Discard any remaining marinade after coating the salmon.
