Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Lay the salmon filets down the center of the baking sheet, skin side down, leaving space between each filet.
Arrange the asparagus around the top and bottom of the baking sheet.
Whisk together the melted butter, honey, garlic, parsley, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Brush over the salmon and asparagus. Toss the asparagus gently to coat in the butter mixture.
Sprinkle the salmon and asparagus with salt and pepper.
Lay 1 slice of lemon over each salmon filet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes with a fork and is opaque throughout and asparagus is tender crisp.
Serve immediately.

Notes

We don't find the red pepper flakes to make this spicy at all, but it does help to balance the sweetness of the honey.
Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Asparagus ends will get quite browned on the tips - we love the roasty bits!
