Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Red Potatoes

We've started eating Salmon every so often. I am not a huge fish person but this recipe was pretty good and didn't taste fishy to me at all! My husband LOVED it and is already asking when I am going to make it again. The roasted asparagus and potatoes are an old favorite. Delicious meal! Salmon recipe was inspired by a hint of honey and modified to our liking.

Roasted Asparagus and Red Potatoes:

-1 bunch fresh asparagus
-4 red potatoes chopped
-olive oil
-3 cloves, garlic, sliced
-1 tablespoon dry Italian seasoning
-sea or kosher salt and fresh black pepper
-1-2 tablespoons basil

Preheat oven to 425. In an extra large mixing bowl toss the asparagus, potatoes, 2-3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and basil together. You can use your hands to massage the oil and seasonings into the vegetables.

Grease a casserole dish and roast vegetables about 30-35 minutes until potatoes are tender.


Honey Mustard Salmon:

-1 1/2 pound antibiotic free salmon fillet (I bought mine from whole foods when there was a great sale)
-3 tablespoons whole grain dijon mustard (got mine at trader joes)
-2 tablespoons honey
-1 clove of garlic grated
-Salt and Pepper

Lay the fish skin side down on a foil lined baking sheet. I didn't oil the baking sheet because I wanted the skin to stick to the foil after baking. Season with salt and pepper. In a bowl combine other ingredients and spread on top of fish. Bake in the oven at 425 for 15-20 min or until flaky.

So, to make these at the same time, since they have the same cooking temperature, I just put the veggies in the oven and add the fish when there is 20 min left.
