A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring flaky salmon glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, roasted alongside tender asparagus and crispy baby potatoes. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey (85g)
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (30ml)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (15ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound/450g), trimmed
  • 1 pound baby potatoes (450g), halved
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  3. Toss halved baby potatoes and trimmed asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a rimmed sheet pan, leaving room for the salmon.
  4. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the potatoes for 15 minutes to give them a head start.
  5. Remove the pan, push potatoes to one side, then add asparagus and arrange salmon fillets skin-side down next to the veggies.
  6. Brush the honey garlic sauce generously over the salmon fillets and drizzle some over the asparagus and potatoes.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 12-15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and veggies are tender but still bright.
  8. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for a sticky glaze with a caramelized crunch, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Serve immediately, spooning any pan juices over the salmon and veggies.

Notes

Let salmon sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking for even roasting. Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes if they are not softening fast enough. Be cautious with broiling as honey burns quickly. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free option. Swap veggies as desired.
