Grilled Salmon with Roasted Asparagus

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your grill to medium heat. Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C).
2. 2In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined.
3. 3Place the 4 6-oz salmon fillets into a shallow dish. Pour half of the prepared marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are coated. Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
4. 4Add the about 450 g of asparagus to the bowl containing the remaining marinade. Toss the asparagus spears gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade. Spread the coated asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet.
5. 5Once the grill is preheated to medium heat, carefully place the 4 6-oz salmon fillets directly on the grill grates. Grill the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 63°C.
6. 6Place the baking sheet with the marinated about 450 g of asparagus into the preheated about 205°C (200°C) oven. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp; you can check for doneness by piercing a spear with a fork.
7. 7Carefully remove the grilled 4 6-oz salmon fillets from the grill and the roasted about 450 g of asparagus from the oven. Serve the grilled salmon with the roasted asparagus immediately.
