Main Ingredients

Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Wash the asparagus and trim the tough ends. You can snap the ends off by hand or cut them with a knife.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 4

    Grill the Asparagus

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

Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Allow to simmer for a couple of minutes until warmed through.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the grilled salmon and asparagus on a plate, drizzling the lemon butter sauce over the top. Enjoy your meal!
