Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Toss the trimmed asparagus with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.
- Brush the salmon fillets with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
