1
Marinade the Salmon
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chopped dill. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
2
Preheat the Grill
While the salmon is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

3
Grill the Salmon
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4
Prepare the Asparagus
While the salmon is grilling, rinse the asparagus and trim off the woody ends. Drizzle with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can grill the asparagus alongside the salmon for about 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and charred.

5
Cook the Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water (or broth for more flavor). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

6
Serve
On each plate, serve a portion of grilled salmon alongside a serving of quinoa and a few pieces of grilled asparagus. Optionally, garnish with extra dill or lemon slices.
