Title: Grilled Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce and Asparagus
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 bunch fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
1 lemon (zested and juiced)
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions:
1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped dill, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and melted butter. Mix well to create the lemon dill sauce.
3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then brush both sides with olive oil.
4. Place the asparagus on a plate and drizzle with a bit of olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking and flakes easily with a fork.
6. On a separate part of the grill or in a grill basket, add the asparagus and grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender but still crisp.
7. Once both the salmon and asparagus are done, place them on serving plates. Drizzle the lemon dill sauce over the salmon and garnish with additional dill if desired.
8. Serve immediately, enjoying a flavorful and healthy low-carb meal.
