Description
The Soy-Honey Glazed Salmon with Asparagus is a light yet flavorful dish that combines the rich taste of salmon with the refreshing crunch of asparagus. The glaze is made with a blend of reduced-sodium soy sauce and honey, creating a perfect balance between salty and sweet flavors. The asparagus, gently steamed to preserve its crisp texture, complements the salmon perfectly.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) salmon fillet
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp olive oil (plus more for brushing)
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Steam the asparagus: Place a steamer insert in a saucepan with water just below the insert. Bring to a boil, add asparagus, cover, and steam for 2–4 minutes until slightly tender.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and honey until smooth.
- Prep for broiling: Preheat your oven’s broiler and set the rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with olive oil.
- Assemble: Place salmon and steamed asparagus on the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Broil & glaze: Broil for 5 minutes. Drizzle ⅔ of the glaze over the salmon and asparagus. Continue broiling for another 3–5 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Finish: Drizzle the remaining glaze over the salmon before serving.
