Main Ingredients

Marinade

Lemon Butter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Rinse under cold water and pat dry. Drizzle with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 4

    Grill the Asparagus

    While the salmon is grilling, place the asparagus on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

Making Lemon Butter

  1. 5

    Prepare Lemon Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the lemon zest and chopped parsley. Remove from heat and set aside.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Dish

    Plate the grilled salmon and asparagus, and drizzle the lemon butter over the top. Serve immediately.
