Main Ingredients

Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove salmon from the marinade and place on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 5

    Grill the Asparagus

    While the salmon is grilling, toss the asparagus with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender.

  3. 6

    Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest and chopped parsley.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Place a grilled salmon fillet on each plate, arrange the grilled asparagus alongside, and drizzle with lemon butter sauce before serving.
