Method

Preparing the Grilled Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the salmon fillets and coat them well. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

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

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and set aside.

Preparing the Asparagus

  1. 4

    Prepare the Asparagus

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

  2. 5

    Season the Asparagus

    In a bowl, drizzle olive oil over the asparagus and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 6

    Grill the Asparagus

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

Making the Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 7

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

  2. 8

    Add Garlic and Lemon Juice

    Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and lemon juice. Stir and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 9

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

Serving
