Serves 2

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 wild-caught salmon fillets (6–8 oz each), skin-on or skinless

• 1 bunch fresh asparagus (about 1 lb), tough ends snapped off

• 3–4 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (cold-pressed, high-polyphenol)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Zest of 1 lemon + juice of ½ lemon

• 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and chopped

• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 1 oz Pecorino Romano cheese (aged sheep’s milk), shaved or grated

• Optional garnish: fresh parsley leaves

Instructions:

1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (or use a broiler). Brush salmon and asparagus lightly with olive oil and season with sea salt, pepper, and half the chopped rosemary.

2. Grill the asparagus for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred. Remove and set aside.

3. Grill the salmon flesh-side down first for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook skin-side down another 4–5 minutes (or until desired doneness). Internal temperature should reach 125–130°F for medium.

4. While salmon cooks, warm remaining olive oil in a small pan over low heat. Add minced garlic and remaining rosemary; gently infuse for 1–2 minutes (do not brown). Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest and juice.

5. Plate: Arrange grilled asparagus on plates. Place salmon on top. Drizzle with the lemon-rosemary olive oil. Finish with shaved Pecorino Romano and optional parsley.
