Instructions

Step 1: Preheat grill to 375°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp fresh dill, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Brush the marinade mixture over both sides of 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin-on). Place salmon skin-side down on the preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, until skin is crispy and salmon is opaque.
Step 3: Add 1 bunch trimmed asparagus to the grill during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Turn occasionally until tender and lightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
