2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
4 (6 oz) skinless salmon filets
1.5 pound asparagus ends trimmed
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 lemon cut into wedges
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F for and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the salmon filets with this mixture and place them on the prepared sheet pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with the remaining tablespoon of oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to your taste.
Place the asparagus next to the salmon in the pan and bake for 5-7 minutes more, until the salmon is flaky and the asparagus is just tender.
Assemble the meal prep bowls by dividing the cooked quinoa into 4 glass containers. Once the salmon and asparagus are done baking, allow them to cool, then add to the meal prep containers together with the lemon wedges.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and refrigerate for no more than 3 days.
