Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves until combined.
  2. Step 2: Brush 4 salmon fillets evenly with the lemon-dill marinade and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Let rest for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
  3. Step 3: Toss 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place asparagus on the grill perpendicular to the grates to avoid falling through.
  4. Step 4: Grill salmon fillets skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until the edges are crispy and grill marks appear, then flip and cook 3-4 minutes more until just cooked through.
  5. Step 5: Grill asparagus for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and charred in spots. Serve salmon with the grilled asparagus alongside.
