Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)

1 bunch of 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 the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for roasting both the salmon and asparagus to perfection.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well integrated.

      Marinate the Salmon: Take the salmon fillets and place them in a shallow dish. Pour half of the prepared honey mustard marinade over the top of the salmon, making sure each fillet is generously coated. Allow them to marinate for about 10 minutes as you get the asparagus ready.

        Prepare the Asparagus: While the salmon marinates, arrange the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with a little olive oil, then season with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Toss the asparagus to ensure they’re evenly coated with oil and seasoning.

          Combine Salmon and Asparagus: After the worth the wait, remove the salmon from its marinade (discard any remaining marinade) and position the salmon fillets skin-side down on the same baking sheet next to the asparagus. Drizzle the remaining half of the honey mustard marinade over the top of the salmon fillets.

            Bake Together: Transfer the baking sheet to your preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, watching closely until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender yet retains a slight crunch. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the salmon fillets, so adjust as necessary.

              Serve: Once cooked, take the baking sheet out of the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish your dish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately alongside lemon wedges for a vibrant, zesty touch.
