Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil to create the glaze.
  3. Place salmon fillets and asparagus on the sheet pan; brush the glaze generously over the salmon and toss asparagus in the remaining sauce.
  4. Top salmon fillets with lemon slices and bake for 12-15 minutes.
