Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon cut into 4 filets
- 1 pound asparagus trimmed
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon minced parsley
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
- 1 lemon sliced
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!
