| 1 tablespoon brown sugar |
| 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard |
| 1 tablespoon honey |
| 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce |
| 4 salmon fillets 6 oz each |
| 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste) |

Honey-Mustard Salmon with Roasted Asparagus Directions
- Heat oven 400 degrees
- Combine butter and brown sugar in a bowl and microwave until the butter and sugar has melted together, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the mustard, honey and soy sauce.
- Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of the oil, the parmesan cheese, and some salt and pepper. Place the stalks in a baking dish and roast until they're al dente, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Season the fillets with salt and pepper and add them to the pan.
- Cook until brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip them over. Brush on half the honey mustard and place the pan in the oven.
- Bake until the salmon is firm and flakes easily (but before white solids begin to form on the surface, about 5 minutes.)
- Remove the filets from the oven and brush them with more honey mustard. Serve the salmon with asparagus.
