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!
