- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1½ lb. asparagus tough ends removed (needed for cooking day)

TO MAKE FRESH
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper or a Silpat® baking mat. Place the salmon skin side down in the center of the baking sheet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. Generously season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and brush over the salmon.
Add the asparagus to the bowl with the orange juice mixture and gently toss to combine. Season with additional salt and black pepper, to taste.
Arrange asparagus around the salmon fillets in a single layer and place sheet pan in pre-heated oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or just until the salmon is flaky and the asparagus develops a bit of color, being careful to not overcook the salmon.
Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
TO MAKE AS A FREEZER MEAL
In a labeled sandwich sized ziplock bag, combine orange juice, honey, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic. Remove excess air to freeze. Place packaged salmon and glaze packet in a gallon sized freezer bag for freezing.
