Print Recipe

A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring honey glazed salmon and roasted asparagus, perfect for busy weeknights. The sticky-sweet glaze caramelizes beautifully while the asparagus roasts to tender perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6-ounce / 170g each), skin-on
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus (about 1 pound / 450g), trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • Salt, a pinch

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus (about 1-2 inches from the bottom). Spread them out on a lined sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss lightly to coat.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place the fillets skin-side down on the sheet pan, next to the asparagus without crowding.
  5. Brush the honey glaze generously over the salmon fillets. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the glaze for after baking.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Check at 12 minutes; salmon should flake easily but remain moist, and asparagus should be tender with slightly crispy tips.
  7. Remove from oven and brush the salmon with the reserved glaze for a glossy finish. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

If asparagus stalks are thick, cut them in half lengthwise or roast a few minutes longer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting. Pat salmon dry before glazing for better caramelization. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free option. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently to maintain moisture.
