Place salmon fillets on prepared baking sheet, brush with an even amount of mustard. Divide sugar mixture between the tops of each fillet, and press it until it adheres to mustard.

Place in preheated oven and bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 158°F (70°C).

In a large bowl gently fold together shaved asparagus and arugula, divide between 4 plates. Drizzle with desired amount of dressing and top with cooked salmon. Garnish with parmesan.
