Wild salmon grilled with lemon and garlic, served with charred asparagus and fresh parsley — all whole foods, no added oils.

This recipe is originally for 2 servings. How many are you cooking for today?

Ingredients
  • 12 ozs wild salmon fillet (whole piece, skin on)
  • 16 spears asparagus (trimmed)
  • 1 medium lemon (zested and halved)
  • 2 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1

Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with sea salt and pepper. Rub lemon zest over the flesh and tuck sliced garlic under the skin.

2

Preheat a grill or grill pan to high. Place salmon skin-side down and grill 4–6 minutes per side until just opaque in the center (depending on thickness).

3

Meanwhile, place asparagus directly on the hot grill; turn occasionally until charred and tender, about 6–8 minutes.

4

Remove salmon and asparagus. Squeeze lemon halves over both, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
