Grilled Salmon Recipe

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Season the Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Grill the Salmon

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes. Flip carefully and grill for another 4-6 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Prepare the Asparagus

Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

Grill the Asparagus

Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill alongside the salmon for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

Melt the Butter

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until bubbly but not browned.

Add Flavorings

Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Finish the Sauce

Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Allow to sit for a minute before serving.

Serve the Dish

On a plate, serve a grilled salmon fillet alongside grilled asparagus. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce generously over the salmon and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
