A flavorful Lemon Herb Grilled Salmon paired with tender asparagus, perfect for a healthy meal.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade by whisking olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Marinate the salmon and asparagus in a resealable bag or dish for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F).
  4. Grill the salmon skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until edges turn opaque.
  5. Add asparagus to the grill and cook for another 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally.
  6. Check salmon doneness; it should flake easily and reach 145°F internally.
  7. Serve the salmon and asparagus on a platter with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Ensure to marinate the salmon and asparagus for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.
  • Grill asparagus perpendicular to the grates to prevent falling through.
