A quick and flavorful sheet pan meal featuring crispy skin salmon and tender asparagus, coated in a bright lemon garlic glaze. Perfect for busy weeknights and healthy indulgence without the fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 oz each)
  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb), trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears (about 1-2 inches). Rinse and pat dry thoroughly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using until smooth and fragrant.
  4. Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on one half of a rimmed sheet pan, leaving space between them. Lay the asparagus on the other half in a single layer.
  5. Brush the lemon garlic glaze generously over the salmon and asparagus.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until salmon flesh is opaque and skin is crispy, and asparagus is tender but still slightly crisp.
  7. Optional: For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon skin dry before applying glaze to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even roasting. Broil at the end for extra crispy skin but watch closely to prevent burning. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat best in the oven at 300°F for 8-10 minutes.
