Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, 6 ounces each, skin-on, wild-caught preferred
  • 3 tablespoons honey, raw or organic
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced fresh
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for roasting vegetables
  • 1 cup fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or dill), chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss asparagus, peas, and sugar snap peas in 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on one side of a rimmed baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil until glossy and smooth.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place skin-side down on the other side of the baking sheet. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Brush the glaze generously over the salmon fillets, including under the edges. Reserve some glaze for basting halfway through cooking.
  6. Roast salmon and vegetables in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Start checking at 12 minutes; salmon should flake easily but remain moist, and glaze should be bubbling and caramelized.
  7. About halfway through cooking (around 7 minutes), baste the salmon again with the reserved glaze.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or dill over the top.
  9. Serve immediately with the roasted spring vegetables.

Notes

Let salmon sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep vegetables crisp. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Baste halfway through cooking to keep glaze sticky and prevent burning. Let salmon rest after cooking to lock in moisture. For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. To reheat leftovers, warm gently in a low oven or microwave with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
