Method

Preparing the Grilled Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Add salmon fillets to the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

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

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Preparing the Asparagus

  1. 4

    Prepare the Asparagus

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

  2. 5

    Season and Grill

    Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place them on the grill alongside the salmon, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Making the Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter gently.

  2. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Once melted, stir in lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, place the grilled salmon and asparagus. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the salmon and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
