Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 lemons (juiced and zested)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cup asparagus (trimmed)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Place the salmon fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the salmon is marinating, toss the cherry tomatoes and asparagus with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  5. 5

    Place the marinated salmon on the hot grill, skin-side down, and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    In the last few minutes of grilling, add the cherry tomatoes and asparagus to the grill alongside the salmon, cooking until tender.

  7. 7

    Remove the salmon and vegetables from the grill; let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes.

  8. 8

    Serve the grilled salmon with the veggies, garnished with fresh parsley.
