For the Grilled Asparagus and Charred Lemon

Method

Prepare the Parmesan Crusted Salmon

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Mix the Crust

    In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly among the salmon fillets, pressing it down gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Bake the Salmon

    Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

Prepare the Lemon Caper Gremolata

  1. 5

    Mix Gremolata Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped capers, minced garlic, and olive oil. Stir until well mixed.

Prepare the Creamy Asiago Polenta

  1. 6

    Cook the Polenta

    In a saucepan, bring the water or broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low.

  2. 7

    Finish with Cheese and Butter

    Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the polenta is thick and creamy. Stir in the asiago cheese, unsalted butter, and salt until fully melted and combined.

Grill the Asparagus and Char Lemon

  1. 8

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil and salt.

  2. 9

    Grill the Asparagus

    Grill the asparagus for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and charred.

  3. 10

    Char the Lemon

    Add the halved lemon cut-side down to the grill for the last 2-3 minutes to char.
