Method

Grilling the Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your marinade for the salmon.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Cooking the Basmati Rice

  1. 5

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, combine rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 7

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Grilling the Asparagus

  1. 8

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and rinse them under cold water.

  2. 9

    Season the Asparagus

    In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.

  3. 10

    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.
