Baked Honey-Soy Salmon with Asparagus
Course Main Course
Cuisine Asian
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic until the honey dissolves.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle half the sauce over the spears. Toss lightly to coat.
Place the salmon fillets among the asparagus and brush the remaining sauce over the top of each fillet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender.
Check the salmon a minute or two early since thickness varies and it continues to cook slightly after coming out of the oven. Leftovers reheat gently in a low oven to keep the fish from drying out. If you prefer a thicker glaze, spoon any pan juices back over the salmon right before serving.
