This impressive-looking salmon can be yours in under half an hour. The glaze really couldn’t be much easier, and everything cooks right on the one sheet pan (I did use a fairly large one – feel free to use 2 smaller ones if needed).

How long do you bake salmon?

The salmon and asparagus cook at a similar rate, so it’s all ready at the same time. I find that for fairly thin asparagus and an average salmon fillet (thicker than an inch in the thickest part), 15-20 minutes does it. My piece of salmon weighed in at 1.7 pounds.

Keep in mind that the fish will continue cooking a little bit after you take it out of the oven.

You could do this with smaller salmon pieces if you wish (e.g. if you have fewer people to serve), but I do like making the big piece. It’s just as easy, and you could always have the leftovers for lunch the next day.

I’ve always loved sweet Asian-inspired glazes on salmon, and this one definitely hits the spot.

Sheet Pan Salmon and Asparagus

This quick and easy sheet pan salmon and asparagus makes a delicious dinner! The sweet hoisin sauce glaze will have everyone asking for seconds!
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Total: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients 

  • 1 large salmon fillet (mine was 1.7 pounds)
  • 1 bunch asparagus (thinner asparagus works best) ends trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sesame seeds to taste (optional)
  • Lemon wedges for serving 

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400F and move the rack to the middle position. 
  • Grease a large baking sheet or line one with foil for easy clean-up.
  • Place the asparagus spears on the sheet pan and toss them with the olive oil and a bit of salt. Move them aside and place the salmon fillet in the middle. 
  • In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and some pepper. Brush the glaze on the salmon and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top if using. 
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes (mine was done after 17 minutes). Salmon should easily flake with a fork. I like to squeeze a bit of lemon juice on top before serving to balance the sweetness. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You could also do this with smaller pieces of salmon if needed.
  • Great served with rice or a side salad.

    My friend and I made this tonight and we are in love! There was silence at the table except the oohs and ahs! We served it with brown basmati rice and a cucumber and onion salad they were the perfect compliment.
