Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Balsamic Reduction
In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the Asparagus
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
Sear the Salmon
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice crust.
Plate the Dish
On a plate, arrange the grilled asparagus, top with the seared salmon fillet, and spoon the lemon avocado relish over the salmon. Drizzle with the balsamic reduction before serving.
