Honey Garlic Salmon and Roasted Asparagus (200 Calorie Meal)

Honey Garlic Butter Salmon

​Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup honey
4 large cloves of garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (juice of 1/2 a lemon)
​2 1/2 pound side of salmon
Sea salt, to taste
​Cracked pepper, to taste (optional)
​Lemon slices (to serve)
​2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

​Instructions:
1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking tray/sheet with a large piece of foil, big enough to fold over and seal to create a packet.
​2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Add the honey, garlic, and lemon, and whisk until the honey has melted through the butter and the mixture is well combined.
​3. Place the salmon onto lined baking tray/sheet. Pour the butter/honey mixture over the salmon, and using a pastry brush or spoon, spread evenly over the salmon. Sprinkle with a good amount of salt (about 2 teaspoons) and cracked pepper. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon to cover and completely seal the packet closed so the butter does not leak.
​4.Bake until cooked through (about 15-18 minutes). Open the foil, being careful of any escaping steam, and grill/broil under the grill/broiler for 2-3 minutes on medium heat to caramelize the top. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately with lemon slices.
