Sheet pan salmon and asparagus is an easy dinner that's fresh and special without requiring much work. With a quick maple-Dijon glaze and everything bagel seasoning, everything roasts on one pan for a fast weeknight meal.
Prepare the asparagus: Lay the asparagus on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and rub to cover the asparagus in the oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper and spread to an even layer.
1 lb asparagus, ½ tsp kosher salt, ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1 tbsp olive oil
Prepare the salmon: In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and maple syrup to combine. Nestle the salmon fillets between the asparagus. Brush the top of the salmon with the prepared mustard and syrup. Sprinkle the brushed salmon with the everything bagel seasoning.
Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven. Roast until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 120°F and the asparagus is tender, 10-12 minutes. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow the salmon to rest for 5 minutes before serving, which will bring the internal temperature of the salmon up to a finished temperature of 125°F (this is for medium-rare doneness). Top the asparagus with fresh lemon juice and serve.
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
This timing and temperature are for medium-rare salmon. If you prefer a more fully cooked fillet, continue roasting until it reaches the temperature and doneness you prefer.
