Prep Oven and Glaze
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup, if desired.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare Vegetables
- On the prepared sheet pan, toss the trimmed asparagus and cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread them out in a single layer, leaving some space in the center for the salmon.
Add Salmon and Roast
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them in the center of the sheet pan, among the vegetables, ensuring they are not touching each other too much.
- Spoon or brush about half of the maple Dijon glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is nearly cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Finish and Serve
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Spoon or brush the remaining glaze over the salmon fillets.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness (it should flake easily with a fork) and the glaze is slightly caramelized. For extra crispiness, you can briefly broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Doneness: Salmon is typically cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Overcooking can dry it out.
Vegetable Variations: Feel free to swap or add other quick-cooking vegetables like broccoli florets, bell pepper strips, or green beans. Adjust roasting time as needed.
Storage: Leftover salmon and vegetables can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently to prevent drying out.
