Lemon Herb Grilled Salmon with Asparagus

Bright lemon, fresh herbs and smoky grill marks — salmon and asparagus cook side by side in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps

  1. Heat the grill to medium-high and oil the grates well.
  2. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, salt and pepper.
  3. Brush the salmon and asparagus with the lemon-herb oil.
  4. Grill the salmon skin-side down 4-5 minutes, until it releases easily, then flip and grill 3-4 minutes more.
  5. Grill the asparagus alongside, turning once, until tender-crisp, about 6 minutes.
  6. Serve with lemon wedges and a scatter of fresh dill.
Serve with: quinoa or a simple green salad.

Let the grill get properly hot before the salmon goes on; a hot grate is what keeps the fish from sticking.
