Soy Honey-Glazed Salmon and Asparagus pairs tender spears with a juicy fillet coated in a balanced honey–soy glaze that turns glossy and deeply savory under the broiler. The fish flakes easily while the asparagus stays crisp-tender, offering sweet-salty notes with a hint of caramelization. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner that still tastes special.
