Spicy Citrus Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Honey-Ginger Glaze

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring salmon fillets pan-seared to perfection, coated in a spicy citrus marinade and topped with a sweet and tangy honey-ginger glaze. Served alongside roasted asparagus for a complete meal.

Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon filets (6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest and juice, ginger, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them, coating both sides. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  5. While asparagus is roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine honey and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  7. Pour honey-ginger glaze over cooked salmon fillets and serve immediately with roasted asparagus.
