• In a small saucepan over medium heat, add all ingredients. Reduce until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add 1-ounce water if the sauce is too thick.;
• In a large saute pan over high heat, heat enough olive oil to coat the pan. Add the asparagus and minced onion. Saute until glazed, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

BROILED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• In a medium serving bowl, toss together the herbs, scallions, red-pepper flakes, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Season with more lemon or oil as needed until the leaves look glossy. Set aside.
• Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from the heat source.
• In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and mustard until smooth. Add the asparagus to a large sheet pan, toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Move the asparagus to the sides, and place the salmon skin side down in the center. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, brush the tops and sides with the soy mixture, then toss the asparagus in the rest of the soy mixture. (Use a paper towel to wipe off excess soy on the sheet pan, as it will smoke.)
• Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, and 8 to 10 minutes for medium, depending on the strength of your broiler and the thickness of the salmon. (Reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes for thinner fillets.) If it looks like it's browning too quickly or smoking excessively, move to a lower rack to finish cooking. Top the salmon and asparagus with the herb salad or serve on the side with a final round of pepper.

POMEGRANATE-GLAZED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS-MINT CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the asparagus in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain, then cut the asparagus spears on the bias into thirds.
• Zest the orange, remove and discard the peel and cut the flesh into segments; squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes into a large bowl.
• Add the vinegar, mustard and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the bowl with the orange juice; whisk together. Add the orange zest and segments, asparagus, lima beans, hazelnuts, mint, parsley and scallions and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Position an oven rack in the second position from the top and preheat the oven to broil.
• Heat a nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season all sides of the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet skin-side down and cook for 1 minute.
• Set aside some of the Pomegranate Glaze in a separate bowl for serving, then brush the salmon liberally with the remaining glaze, being careful not to let too much drip down as the glaze will burn and hinder the crisping of the skin. Transfer to the oven and broil until the glaze is caramelized and the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 125 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Serve over the asparagus salad with a couple smears of the reserved glaze on the side.
