Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1 bunch of fresh asparagus (approximately 1 lb)

3 tablespoons olive oil

Juice of 1 large lemon

Zest of 1 lemon

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the fillets are well-coated and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

    Prepare the Asparagus: While the salmon is marinating, trim the ends of the asparagus. In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). If using a grill pan, heat it on the stove over medium-high heat.

        Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

          Grill the Asparagus: While the salmon is cooking, place the asparagus on the grill perpendicular to the grates, or use a grill basket. Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the asparagus is tender and has nice grill marks.

            Serve: Once both the salmon and asparagus are cooked, remove them from the grill. Serve the salmon with grilled asparagus on the side, garnished with additional lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.

              Enjoy your zesty and healthy Lemon Herb Grilled Salmon with Asparagus!
