Another Fabulous Salmon Recipe!

I LOVE salmon. In fact, I don't remember ever having any salmon that I have not loved. I like to try new recipes, and this one is a keeper! 

Honey-Mustard Salmon with Roasted Asparagus

source: Women's Health-November issue

Ingredients:

4 Wild Salmon Fillets

2 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard

1 Tbsp. Low-sodium Soy Sauce (I use Tamari)

1 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter

1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar

1 Tbsp. Honey

1 lb. Asparagus, trimmed

2 Tbsp. Olive Oil, divided

1/4 Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan

Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine butter & brown sugar in a bowl; microwave until they have melted together, about 30 seconds. Stir in mustard, soy sauce, and honey.

2. Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp. of the oil, the parmesan, and salt & pepper. Place the stalks in a baking dish and roast until they are al dente, about 10-12 minutes. 

3. Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Season salmon fillets with salt & pepper, then add to the pan, flesh side down. Cook until browned on one side, 3-4 minutes. Flip the fillets, brush on half the honey mustard, and place the pan in the oven. Bake until fish is firm and flakes easily (but before white solids begin to form on the surface), about 5 minutes. Remove fillets from oven and brush with more honey mustard. Serve with asparagus.
