1
Prepare the Asparagus
Wash the asparagus under cold water and trim the tough ends. Set aside.
2
Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.

3
Grill the Salmon
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for 6-8 minutes until they are cooked through and have grill marks. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes if desired.
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 and cook for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

5
Make the Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

6
Plate the Dish
Place the grilled salmon on plates and arrange the grilled asparagus alongside. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce generously over the salmon and serve immediately.
