INGREDIENTS

7 oz salmon fillet

1 cup asparagus

0.5 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp tamari

0.5 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp fresh ginger

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp sesame seeds

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• 2

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

• 3

  Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.

• 4

  Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.

• 5

  While the vegetables roast, whisk together the tamari, maple syrup, grated fresh ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl to create the glaze.

• 6

  Season the salmon fillet lightly with salt and pepper.

• 7

  Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and place the salmon skin-side up, searing for 4 minutes until a golden crust forms.

• 8

  Flip the salmon and pour the glaze into the skillet, allowing it to bubble and thicken for 3-4 minutes while you spoon it over the fish.

• 9

  Remove from heat once the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is thick and glossy.

• 10

  Plate the salmon over the roasted asparagus, drizzle with any remaining glaze from the pan, and garnish with sesame seeds.
