Print Recipe

A quick and easy honey garlic glazed salmon recipe paired with bright lemon roasted asparagus, perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on for crispiness
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw, local honey)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for roasting)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb / 450 g), trimmed
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced (for roasting and garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and grated ginger (if using). Stir well and set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and lay lemon slices evenly over the asparagus. Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.
  4. While asparagus roasts, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to crisp the skin. Flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour the honey garlic glaze over the salmon in the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and spoon the sauce over the fillets as it thickens, about 2-3 minutes, until sticky and well-coated.
  6. Transfer salmon to plates, drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan on top, and serve alongside the lemon roasted asparagus. Garnish with an extra lemon wedge if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking to ensure crispy skin. Add glaze after flipping salmon to prevent burning. Use medium-high heat for searing. Roast asparagus evenly and consider thickness for cooking time. If glaze thickens too fast, add a splash of water or soy sauce to loosen.
