How to Make Grilled Salmon with Asparagus

Salsa Verde

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine all salsa verde ingredients and blend on high until a smooth purée forms. Transfer to a small serving dish, cover, and set aside.

Grilled Salmon

  1. Step 1

    Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Spray the grill or pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. Step 2

    Spray the top and bottom of each salmon fillet with nonstick cooking spray and season with black pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Place the salmon on the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the fish is flaky. If serving with asparagus, place the asparagus spears on the grill while salmon is cooking. Turn them every few minutes until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    To serve, spoon some salsa verde onto each plate. Set grilled salmon fillet on top of salsa verde and drizzle salmon with more sauce. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley sprigs. Serve grilled asparagus next to salmon. Enjoy!
