Print Recipe

A simple, fast, and delicious sheet pan dinner featuring crispy skin salmon glazed with honey mustard and roasted asparagus. Perfect for busy weeknights or dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces each
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed (about 1 pound)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and add smoked paprika if desired.
  3. Trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends and spread evenly on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  4. Drizzle half of the honey mustard glaze over the asparagus and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the sheet pan, spacing evenly.
  6. Brush the remaining glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
  7. Season the salmon with a little extra salt and pepper if desired.
  8. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the skin is crispy, and the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
  9. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  10. Serve immediately with an extra squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking to ensure crispy skin. Use parchment paper or silicone mat to prevent sticking. Do not flip salmon; roast skin-side down only. Watch glaze closely if broiling to prevent burning. Adjust roasting time for thinner asparagus stalks or alternative vegetables.
