Preparation Instructions

Grill the Salmon
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has grill marks. Remove from grill and let it cool slightly.

Prepare the Asparagus
While the salmon is grilling, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the trimmed asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
