Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon with Asparagus

Ingredients

• 2 fillets salmon fillets
• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp fine salt

Instructions

1. Pat the salmon dry and season with the salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high and sear the salmon skin-side up for 3 minutes until golden, then flip.
2. Add the asparagus around the salmon and cook 4 to 5 minutes, turning the spears, until the salmon flakes easily and the asparagus is crisp-tender.
3. Lower the heat, add the butter and minced garlic to the pan, and cook 1 minute until fragrant and foaming.
4. Pour in the lemon juice, swirl to make a glossy sauce, and spoon it over the salmon and asparagus.
