Honey Soy Glazed Salmon & Asparagus Sheet Pan (42g Protein)

Published: 8/17/2026

A succulent Nordic-Asian fusion. The honey-soy glaze provides a rich, caramelized exterior while the salmon stays moist and tender — a one-pan meal that is perfect for a quick but elegant weeknight dinner.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 2 lbs (900 g) salmon fillets (4 portions)
• 1 lb (450 g) asparagus, trimmed
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, and ginger together.
3. Place the salmon and asparagus on the pan. Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and the salmon with the honey-soy glaze.
4. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).

Pro Tips

• Use a Thermometer: Pull the salmon at exactly 135°F (57°C). This prevents the albumin (the white protein) from leaking out, ensuring a juicy result.
