Ingredients

• 1½ lb salmon fillets, skin on
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ¾ tsp kosher salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Steps

1. Pat the salmon fillets very dry and season with half the salt and pepper.
2. Toss the asparagus with olive oil and the remaining salt, then roast at 425°F for 10-12 minutes until tender-crisp.
3. Meanwhile, sear the salmon skin-side down in a hot oiled skillet for 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crisp.
4. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more, until just opaque in the center.
5. Melt the butter in the same skillet with the garlic and lemon juice, spooning it over the salmon for 1 minute.
6. Serve the salmon with the asparagus, drizzled with the garlic butter and scattered with parsley.
