A quick and easy honey garlic glazed salmon served with perfectly roasted asparagus, delivering a sweet, savory, and tangy flavor combination ideal for busy weeknights or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz/170 g each), skin on for crispiness
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw, local honey)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus (about 1 lb/450 g), trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: a sprinkle of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse asparagus and trim woody ends (about 1-2 inches). Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.
  2. While asparagus roasts, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once shimmering, place salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook without moving for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp and golden. Flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour honey garlic glaze over salmon in skillet. Spoon sauce over fillets as it thickens, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until glaze is sticky and coats salmon. Lower heat if garlic starts to burn.
  6. Plate glazed salmon fillets alongside roasted asparagus. Spoon any extra glaze from pan over the fish before serving.

Notes

Use wild-caught salmon for best flavor. Substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free or low-sodium options. Avoid burning garlic by cooking glaze on medium heat and lowering heat if needed. Do not overcrowd asparagus on baking sheet for even roasting. Leftovers keep well for up to 2 days and can be reheated gently.
