A quick and easy recipe featuring honey glazed salmon paired with roasted asparagus and new potatoes, perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each, skin-on for crispiness)
  • 1 lb (450 g) new potatoes, halved if large
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or organic preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice separated)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set a rack in the middle for even roasting.
  2. Wash and halve the new potatoes if large. Toss with 1.5 tablespoons olive oil, half the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Spread evenly on one side of a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
  3. While potatoes roast, gently warm honey, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl until runny and well combined (about 1-2 minutes on low heat or 30 seconds in microwave). Stir and set aside.
  4. Trim asparagus ends and toss with remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, and remaining garlic.
  5. After potatoes have roasted 20 minutes, add asparagus to the baking sheet alongside potatoes. Roast both for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  7. Remove baking sheet from oven, make space for salmon fillets skin-side down. Brush each fillet generously with the honey glaze.
  8. Return baking sheet to oven and roast salmon for 12-15 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork but remains moist inside. Check at 10 minutes if oven runs hot.
  9. Remove from oven and let salmon rest for a couple of minutes to redistribute juices.
  10. Plate salmon with roasted asparagus and new potatoes. Drizzle leftover glaze on top and garnish with fresh lemon zest or parsley if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing for a caramelized finish. Warm the honey glaze to make it easier to brush. Use a rimmed baking sheet to keep veggies contained. Watch oven temperature and timing to avoid overcooking salmon. Leftovers store well for up to 2 days and reheat gently in a low oven.
