In a small bowl, combine half of the olive oil with the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a paste.
Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel and rub the herb paste generously on all sides, allowing them to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Heat a grill or heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until just starting to smoke.
Place the lamb chops on the hot surface and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F.
While the lamb is searing, place the asparagus on the grill or in a separate hot pan, cooking for 5 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Transfer the lamb to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
Serve the rested lamb chops alongside the fluffy quinoa and charred asparagus, finishing the entire plate with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
