Ingredients

2 pieces salmon fillets
1 bunch asparagus
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Rinse the asparagus and trim the tough ends. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, turmeric, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2: Brush the salmon fillets with half of the marinade and let sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with the remaining marinade.

Step 3: Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes. Turn and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Step 4: Grill the asparagus alongside the salmon for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and charred.

Step 5: Serve the grilled salmon and asparagus hot, with additional lemon wedges on the side if desired.
