Asian Grilled Salmon with Oricchiette and Asparagus 

For the marinade:

1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp dijon mustard

2 tbsp honey

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

Pinch salt

1 tsp pepper

Pinch red pepper flakes

Place the salmon filets in a glass baking dish. Whisk the marinade ingredients together and pour over the salmon filets. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, starting with the skin side, until the fish is cooked through. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

For the Oricchiette and asparagus:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus. On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus with salt, pepper, olive oil and 1-2 tbsp of soy sauce. Roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes. 

Meanwhile cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and return the pasta to the pot. Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces and toss with the pasta. Add 2 tbsp butter, salt, and pepper and toss to coat. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve with the salmon.
