Main Ingredients

For the Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim the woody ends. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salmon

    Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic

    Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 5

    Grill the Asparagus

    While the salmon is grilling, place the asparagus on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Place the grilled salmon on a plate alongside the grilled asparagus. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the salmon and asparagus before serving.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Optionally, garnish with additional lemon slices or fresh herbs, if desired, and serve immediately.
