INSTRUCTIONS

1 In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, and mustard.
2 Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
3 In a medium sauté pan over moderate heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the salmon and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the salmon over and continue to cook until the salmon is golden and cooked through, about 4 more minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
4 In a medium pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente, about 5 minutes. In the same pot, blanch the asparagus and continue cooking for 2 more minutes before transferring asparagus to an ice bath. Drain the pasta and move it into a bowl off the side.
5 In a medium sauté pan over moderate heat, warm the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the onion, garlic, parsley, and basil and sauté, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Add the pasta to the mixture and continue to stir for another minute. Remove from heat and plate.
6 Sprinkle with pasta with cheese, season with salt and pepper. Plate the salmon and asparagus along side the pasta.
7 Drizzle the orange sauce over the salmon and enjoy!
