One-Pan Baked Salmon & Asparagus

• 2 whole salmon fillets, skin on
• 1 bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed
• 1 tbsp white miso paste
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp honey
• 0.5 whole lemon, half
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• salt
• black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a tray with baking paper.

2. 2

   Mash the miso, butter, soy sauce, and honey together into a paste.

3. 3

   Toss the asparagus in the olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on one side of the tray.

4. 4

   Pat the salmon dry, season with salt and pepper, and place skin-down on the other side of the tray. Spread the miso-butter glaze over the top of each fillet.

5. 5

   Bake 12-14 minutes — check at 12, the salmon should flake easily but still look glossy in the centre. Thicker fillets need the extra 2 minutes; don't guess, check.
