Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the broiler to high and position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Lightly oil a large baking tray or sheet pan.

Arrange the asparagus, broccolini, and cherry tomatoes on the tray. Drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread the vegetables into a mostly even single layer so they cook evenly.

Nestle the salmon fillets between the vegetables and season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, stir together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Spoon the glaze over the tops and sides of the salmon fillets.

Broil for 8 minutes, or until the salmon is lightly caramelized on top and just cooked through in the center. Do not flip the fillets while cooking.
