Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Zest and juice of 2 fresh lemons

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 cups asparagus, trimmed

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced into strips

Fresh lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh dill, fresh parsley, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover (or seal) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours for optimal flavor absorption.

    Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, lightly brush the grates with olive oil to help prevent sticking.

      Prepare the Vegetables: While the salmon marinates, prepare the seasonal vegetables. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the asparagus, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced bell pepper. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to ensure each vegetable is evenly coated.

        Grill the Vegetables: Transfer the seasoned vegetables to a grill pan or directly onto the grates of the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and exhibit a slight char. Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the grill and set aside.

          Grill the Salmon: Take the salmon fillets out of the marinade (discard the leftover marinade). Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque in the center and flakes easily when tested with a fork.

            Serve: Arrange the grilled salmon on plates alongside the freshly grilled vegetables, creating a colorful and appetizing display. Garnish each serving with lemon wedges to enhance the bright citrus flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve hot and savor the vibrant, refreshing flavors of your Citrus Herb-Infused Grilled Salmon with Seasonal Veggies!
