- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
