Ingredients
  

2 (6 oz) salmon fillets

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pour half of the honey mixture over the salmon, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Set aside the remaining marinade for later.

        Prepare the Asparagus: In a separate bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus with the remaining honey mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Place the asparagus alongside the salmon on the baking sheet.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender yet still crisp.

            Glaze: For additional flavor, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes. This will caramelize the honey on the salmon and give the asparagus a slightly charred finish. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Plate the salmon and asparagus, drizzle with any remaining glaze, and garnish with sesame seeds and freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve with lemon wedges for an extra zesty kick.
