Ingredients
  

For the Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon whole grain mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

Fresh dill, for garnish (optional)

For the Roasted Asparagus:

1 pound asparagus, trimmed

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your salmon and asparagus cook evenly.

    Prepare the Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and well incorporated. Set this delicious glaze aside for later use.

      Prepare the Asparagus: In a large mixing bowl, add the trimmed asparagus stalks. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Toss well until the asparagus is evenly coated with the seasoning.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to make cleanup easy. Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

          Add Salmon: Place the salmon fillets adjacent to the asparagus on the baking sheet. Use a brush or spoon to generously apply the honey mustard glaze over the tops of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are nicely coated.

            Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The asparagus should be tender and have a slight crispness to it.

              Broil for Extra Flavor (Optional): If you desire a caramelized finish, switch on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close watch to prevent any burning.

                Serve: Once baked, take the baking sheet out of the oven and let it sit for a minute before serving. For an extra touch, drizzle additional honey mustard glaze over the salmon and garnish with fresh dill. Serve the roasted asparagus on the side for a complete meal.
