Salmon

Asparagus

Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Place the salmon fillets in the mixture and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Preparing the Asparagus

  1. 4

    Prep the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and rinse them under cold water.

  2. 5

    Season the Asparagus

    In a bowl, toss the asparagus with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 6

    Grill the Asparagus

    Place the seasoned asparagus on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

Making the Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 7

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

  2. 8

    Add Lemon and Garlic

    Once the butter is melted, add lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

  3. 9

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove from heat and stir in fresh chopped parsley before serving.
