Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

3. 3

   Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, prepare the asparagus by tossing it with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

5. 5

   Once the grill is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

6. 6

   During the last 5 minutes of grilling, add the asparagus to the grill. Cook until tender, turning occasionally.

7. 7

   Remove the salmon and asparagus from the grill. If desired, melt butter over the asparagus for extra flavor.

8. 8

   Serve the grilled salmon with the herb-seasoned asparagus on the side. Enjoy!
