How to Make It
1. Step
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Step
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1 tsp minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add lemon juice, thyme, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, honey, ¼ tsp salt, black pepper, and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
3. Step
Place salmon fillets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin side down. Brush the top of each fillet with half of the glaze and save the other half for a later retouch.
4. Step
Place asparagus onto the baking sheet and brush it with 1 tbsp butter. Slide onto the top rack of the oven and bake for 7 minutes. Remember to set the timer.
5. Step
When the timer dings, take the baking sheet out and brush the fillets once more with the remaining glaze. Slide it back onto the broiling rack and cook for another 5 minutes.
6. Step
As soon as the tray’s back in the oven, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat and stir-fry 1 tsp garlic. Add cooked quinoa, season with ¼ tsp salt, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and prepare to assemble.
7. Step
When the fish is cooked, place the baking sheet on the kitchen counter and begin plating. Place a pile of quinoa in the middle, lift the fillet with a spatula and place it on top, and put the asparagus next to the fillet. Grate lemon zest over the top, and serve.
