Ingredients

Yields 4 servings

  • 1 cup quinoa (rinsed well)
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 lb asparagus (tough ends trimmed)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 4 fillets wild salmon (about 6 oz each, skin on)
  • 2 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic (grated)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • sea salt and black pepper
  • 1 lemon (cut in wedges, to serve)

Method

7 steps, the way Dustin Arnold does it.

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment.

  2. 2

    Quinoa: Bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa and a pinch of salt, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  3. 3

    Asparagus: Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on one side of the sheet pan.

  4. 4

    Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk honey, both mustards, grated garlic, and lemon zest.

  5. 5

    Pat the salmon dry and place skin-side down on the other side of the sheet pan. Brush each fillet generously with the glaze. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Roast 10–12 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and the asparagus is tender-crisp with charred tips.

  7. 7

    Serve the salmon over quinoa with the asparagus alongside and a wedge of lemon.
