INGREDIENTS

7 oz salmon fillet

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 cup asparagus spears

1 tbsp fresh parsley

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp lemon juice

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your outdoor grill or a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat until it is lightly smoking.

• 2

  Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a clean sear and prevent sticking.

• 3

  In a small glass bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Brush the herb marinade generously over the salmon fillet and toss the asparagus spears in the remaining mixture until coated.

• 5

  Place the salmon on the hot grill, skin-side down first, and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden crust.

• 6

  Arrange the asparagus spears on the grill next to the salmon, turning occasionally to achieve even charring.

• 7

  Carefully flip the salmon using a wide spatula and grill for another 3-4 minutes until the center is just opaque and flaky.

• 8

  Transfer to a plate, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately for peak freshness.
