Honey Mustard Salmon

Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the shallot. Cook, tossing, for 1-2 minutes, until softened. Add the dry couscous and toss another 1-2 minutes, until lightly toasted. Add 1¼ cups water and the stock concentrate to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and couscous is al dente. Add the thinly sliced asparagus bottoms to the pot for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking for extra flavor.

Make the honey mustard glaze: In a small bowl, stir together the honey and mustard. Season with salt and pepper.

Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Season on all sides with salt and pepper. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Spread each salmon fillet with most of the glaze, reserving 1 Tablespoon for later. Toss the asparagus tops on the same baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast 10-12 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through and the asparagus is tender.

Stir the parsley stems into the couscous and fluff with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the salmon with the reserved glaze.
