Ingredients

1 Fresh Atlantic Salmon Side cut into 6 ounce portions
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground paprika
2 tablespoons salted butter (¼ stick)
4 cloves Stonemill minced garlic in oil
4 tablespoons Simply Nature honey
1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1 pound fresh asparagus ends cut
1 tablespoon Carlini Olive Oil

Instructions

Pat the salmon dry and cut into 4 filets. If you have extra, keep the extra for an additional meal. (See Note) Season with salt and pepper to taste and then cayenne pepper and paprika. Set aside.
1 Fresh Atlantic Salmon Side, Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon ground paprika
Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add the butter and allow to melt.
2 tablespoons salted butter
Add the garlic and heat for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
4 cloves Stonemill minced garlic in oil
Stir in the honey, lemon juice, and water. Whisk to combine. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbling and slightly reduced.
4 tablespoons Simply Nature honey, 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water
Add the salmon, skin side down, to the skillet. Baste in the sauce.
Add the asparagus around the salmon. Drizzle the asparagus with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
1 pound fresh asparagus, 1 tablespoon Carlini Olive Oil
Cook the salmon on medium, covered and skin side down for 15 minutes.
Turn your oven to broil. Uncover the skillet and place in the oven to broil for 3-5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145F. If your asparagus is thin and you're worried about burning, you can remove the asparagus from the skillet before broiling.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Salmon: My salmon side was 3 lbs. so after cutting into 6-ounce portions, I had quite a bit of extra salmon. I stored the rest in the fridge and used it for another meal the next day.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
The salmon is cooked when the flesh flakes away with a fork.
When the salmon is cooked it should be an internal temperature of 145F.
I like to serve the salmon with the skin on as it gets nice and crispy. If you prefer, you can serve the salmon without the skin, but it's best to cook it with skin for a richer flavor.
