  • 2 6oz salmon fillets — skin-on
  • 1 bunch asparagus — trimmed
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic — minced
  • 1 lemon — halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp dill — fresh, chopped

Instructions

    Pat salmon dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high. Place salmon skin-side up, cook 4 minutes until golden.

    ~4 min

    Tip: Don't touch the fish for 4 full minutes — that's how you get the crust.
