Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon Sheet Pan Delight

Ingredients

• 4 fillets salmon (6 oz each)
• 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• to taste salt and pepper
• 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 whole lemon, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Brush the maple mustard glaze generously over each fillet.
4. On the other side of the baking sheet, arrange the trimmed asparagus and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Place lemon slices on top of the salmon and scatter a few among the vegetables for extra flavor.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
7. For a nice finish, broil the sheet pan for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze and lightly char the vegetables, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.
8. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
