Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Optional: fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley), for garnish
- Optional: 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, for drizzling
Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the salmon fillets and asparagus with olive oil. Season them with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets and asparagus on the grill. Cook the salmon for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until it easily flakes with a fork. Grill the asparagus for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until it’s tender and slightly charred.
- In the last few minutes of grilling, add the cherry tomatoes to the grill. Cook them until they are slightly softened and warm, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once everything is grilled, arrange the salmon, asparagus, and tomatoes on plates.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables. Optionally, drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve immediately while everything is still warm.
