Sheet Pan Orange Glazed Salmon with Asparagus
Sheet Pan Orange Glazed Salmon with Asparagus
Ingredients
- 4 6oz. salmon fillets
- 3 TB orange juice
- 2 tsp honey
- 3 TB extra virgin olive oil
- 2 TB balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 ½ pounds fresh asparagus, woody ends trimmed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper or a Silpat type silicone baking mat. Place the salmon fillets skin side down in the center of the baking sheet and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. Generously season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and brush over the salmon.
- Add the asparagus to the bowl with the orange juice mixture and gently toss to combine. Season with additional salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Arrange asparagus around the salmon fillets in a single layer and place sheet pan in preheated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or just until the salmon is flaky and the asparagus develops a bit of color, being careful to not overcook the salmon.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
