  • soy sauce
  • olive oil
  • lemon juice
  • butter

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions; set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic, and lemon juice.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet and cook salmon fillets skin side down. Flip and cook until done.

  5. In the same pan, add asparagus and sauté until tender.

Notes

  • Use chicken or shrimp instead of salmon for variety.
  • Add cherry tomatoes or spinach for extra color and nutrients.
  • If you prefer, substitute maple syrup for honey in the sauce.
  • This dish can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
  • For baking, cook the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes.
  • Spaghetti, linguine, or angel hair pasta all work well with this dish.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pasta and tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • To make the sauce spicier, add chili flakes or sriracha to taste.
  • Frozen salmon works fine as long as it is thawed completely before cooking.
  • Asparagus does not need to be blanched first; sautéing it in the pan is sufficient.
  • Meal prep is possible; however, the dish is best enjoyed fresh.
  • Serve with a green salad or garlic bread on the side for a complete meal.
  • The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • For a saucier dish, simply double the sauce ingredients.
