A complete, vibrant meal that cooks on one pan for minimal cleanup. Sweet-tangy honey mustard glaze caramelizes on salmon while asparagus, tomatoes, and onion roast to tender-crisp perfection. It is comfort food made easy, ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for veggies
  • 1 pound asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Place asparagus, tomatoes, and red onion on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then push veggies to the perimeter of the pan.
  4. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them in the center of the pan. Brush the top and sides generously with the honey mustard glaze, reserving about 2 tablespoons.
  5. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F internally, and veggies are tender with slight char.
  6. Remove from oven. Brush reserved glaze over the hot salmon. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a lower sugar option, replace half the honey with sugar-free maple syrup. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure veggies roast, not steam. Always pat salmon dry so the glaze sticks. The salmon continues to cook after removal, so avoid overcooking.
