Asparagus

Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Grilling Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil on both sides and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then flip and grill for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Cooking Asparagus

  1. 3

    Prepare the Asparagus

    While the salmon is grilling, wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Grill the Asparagus

    Place the asparagus on the grill alongside the salmon. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

Making Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

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

  2. 6

    Add Lemon and Garlic

    Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.

  3. 7

    Simmer

    Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
