Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice until smooth.
Step 2: Preheat grill to medium heat (about 375°F). Brush 4 salmon fillets generously with half of the maple glaze.
Step 3: Toss 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 4: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and arrange asparagus spears alongside them.
Step 5: Grill salmon for 5 minutes, then brush with remaining maple glaze and turn asparagus to grill evenly.
Step 6: Continue cooking salmon for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through and flaky, and asparagus is tender with char marks.
Step 7: Remove everything from the grill and serve immediately, spooning any remaining glaze over the salmon.
