Main Ingredients

Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Preparation of Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  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 until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Preparation of Asparagus

  1. 3

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Wash the asparagus and trim the tough ends. Toss them lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 4

    Grill the Asparagus

    Place the asparagus on the grill alongside the salmon. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and have grill marks.

Preparation of Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

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

  2. 6

    Add Garlic and Lemon Juice

    Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then stir in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.

  3. 7

    Simmer the Sauce

    Let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes while stirring occasionally.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, place the grilled salmon fillets and arrange the grilled asparagus beside them. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the salmon and asparagus.

  2. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.
