Honey-Garlic Glazed Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Quinoa

A healthy and flavorful meal featuring pan-seared salmon glazed with a sweet and savory honey-garlic sauce, roasted asparagus spears, and fluffy quinoa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin on or off
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and black pepper.
  3. Place salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with the honey-garlic glaze.
  4. Arrange asparagus spears around the salmon. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  6. While the salmon and asparagus roast, prepare the quinoa: rinse quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine quinoa and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  7. Garnish the roasted salmon and asparagus with chopped fresh parsley. Serve alongside the fluffy quinoa.
