Step 1
Pat dry the 4 salmon fillets and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Trim the woody ends from 1 bunch asparagus and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, until it flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
Step 4
While the salmon cooks, grill the asparagus for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, melt 4 tbsp butter over low heat. Add the juice of 1 lemon and stir until combined.
Step 6
Remove the salmon and asparagus from the grill. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the salmon and asparagus.
Step 7
Serve immediately, with extra lemon wedges if desired.
