Perfectly pan-seared salmon fillets glazed with a sticky honey garlic sauce, served alongside golden roasted baby potatoes and tender asparagus spears topped with bubbling melted cheese. A hearty, balanced meal full of bold flavors and vibrant textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Gruyère cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through.
  2. While the potatoes roast, arrange asparagus on a second baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 10–12 minutes. In the final 3 minutes, sprinkle cheese over asparagus and return to the oven until melted and bubbly.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Sear skin-side down for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook another 3–4 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Pour into the skillet with salmon and cook for 1–2 minutes, basting the fillets until glazed and sticky.
  5. Plate the salmon fillets with roasted baby potatoes and cheesy asparagus. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different twist.
  • Gruyère adds nutty depth, but mozzarella works well for a milder option.
  • For crispier skin, press the salmon down gently with a spatula when searing.
