Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1½ lb salmon fillet
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 bunches asparagus
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with foil. Cut the salmon into 4 even portions and pat dry. Stir the maple syrup and Dijon together in a small bowl.
- Season the salmon with 1/4 teaspoon pepper (the bacon brings the salt). Brush each piece all over with half the maple-Dijon mixture, then wrap 2 bacon slices around each portion, tucking the ends underneath.
- Snap the tough ends off the asparagus, toss with the oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and spread on one side of the sheet pan. Set the wrapped salmon on the other side, seam down.
- Roast 15 to 18 minutes until the bacon is browned and the salmon flakes easily at 145°F. For crispier bacon, switch to broil for the last 2 minutes and watch closely.
- Brush the salmon with the remaining maple-Dijon glaze right out of the oven and serve with the asparagus.
- Make ahead: Mix the glaze and snap the asparagus up to a day ahead and keep both chilled. Wrap the salmon with bacon the day you cook it.
- Picky eater tip: Serve plain roasted asparagus and a crispy bacon slice with no glaze.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
