Grilled Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon-Dill Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 6-oz Salmon fillets
• 1 lb Asparagus
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Lemon
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise (egg-based)

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. 2In a bowl, toss the 1 lb of asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread the seasoned asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. 3Place the baking sheet with the asparagus into a preheated oven set to 400°F (200°C). Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp when pierced with a fork.
4. 4While the asparagus is roasting, brush the 4 6-oz salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
5. 5Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
6. 6While the salmon and asparagus are finishing, prepare the lemon-dill sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the 0.25 cup of mayonnaise, the juice from half of the large lemon, the minced 1 clove of garlic, the chopped 2 tablespoons of fresh dill, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
7. 7Serve the 4 6-oz grilled salmon fillets alongside the roasted 1 lb of asparagus. Drizzle the lemon-dill sauce over the salmon and asparagus before serving.
