Qty Ingredient
4 fillets 680 g Salmon fillets
3 tbsp 45 ml Extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp 30 ml Fresh lemon juice
2 cloves 6 g Garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch 450 g Asparagus spears, trimmed

2 Method

1

Step 1. Preheat your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

2

Step 2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, half the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Brush this marinade generously over both sides of the salmon fillets and the vegetables.

3

Step 3. Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and flakes easily.

4

Step 4. Simultaneously place the asparagus and cherry tomatoes on the grill. Cook the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until charred and tender.

5

Step 5. While the salmon rests, prepare the sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, remaining lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.

Step 6. Arrange the grilled salmon and charred vegetables on a large serving platter. Drizzle with the lemon-dill sauce and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.

💡 Chef's Tips

  • ·

    To get perfect grill marks, do not move the salmon once it touches the grill until it is time to flip.

  • ·

    Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels before oiling to ensure a crispy exterior.

  • ·

    Use a grill basket for the cherry tomatoes to prevent them from falling through the grates.

? FAQ

How do I know when the salmon is cooked through?
The salmon is done when the internal temperature reaches 145°F or when the meat is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Can I use frozen salmon for this platter?
Yes, but ensure it is completely thawed in the refrigerator overnight and patted dry before grilling.
What if I don't have an outdoor grill?
A cast-iron grill pan on the stovetop works perfectly, or you can roast the salmon and vegetables in the oven at 400°F.
How long will the leftovers last?
Grilled salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and is delicious served cold on salads.
