Ingredients

For the Miso Honey Baked Salmon:

4 salmon fillets 168 - 196 g or 6-7 oz each
2 Tbsp red or white miso
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the Roasted Asparagus:

450 g asparagus woody ends trimmed
1 Tbsp oil avocado or olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Marinate the Salmon

You can use skinless or skin-on salmon fillet
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso, honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, black pepper until smooth. Miso can be a bit hard to mix so make sure you really mash it with a spoon so there won't be any chunk in the marinade
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Coat each salmon fillet evenly with the marinade. Unless if you salmon has a skin, you don't have to coat the skin with the marinade. Mine are skinless. Let them sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour. If marinating longer, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Take the salmon out of the fridge 20 minutes before baking to bring it to room temperature.

Prepare the Asparagus

Preheat the oven to 425 F (220C) for conventional oven. For convection oven, lower the temperature by 20 F (15 C)
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus at the bottom and place the asparagus stalks on a parchment-lined baking sheet
Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat evenly. Then rearrange the asparagus to make sure it's in one layer

Roast the asparagus

Place the asparagus in the oven and roast for 15 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven but don't turn off the oven yet

Bake the Salmon

Line a separate baking sheet with parchment paper and place the marinated salmon fillets (skin side down if there is skin) on it.
Bake the salmon for 8 minutes.
After 8 minutes of baking, switch the oven to broil mode and broil the salmon for 2-3 minutes to glaze the surface. It should be slightly charred.

Check the doneness

The internal temperature should reach 125 F on the thickest part or the meat should flake easily with a fork.

Serve & Enjoy

Remove the salmon and asparagus from the oven.
Plate the salmon fillets alongside the roasted asparagus.
Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for extra flavor. Serve with rice, noodles, salad, or other sides, or whatever your heart desires
