Salmon & Asparagus With Some Wine

Well, this is my first meal that I am posting!

Tonight's meal consisted of a Lemon Garlic Salmon and Asparagus paired with a fantastic Pinot Grigio.

First, about 3 hours ago I set the salmon filets into a marinade of lemon juice and garlic seasoned with a little pepper (This step is not necessary to do for 3 hours, minimum of 20-30 minutes should do the trick). Once I was ready to cook I heated up 2 skillets. One, super hot, the other just over a medium heat. As soon as I was ready to cook the salmon I melted two (2) table spoons of butter in the super hot skillet, placed the salmon in the melted butter to brown then down immediately to a medium heat. After about two (2) minutes, make sure that the salmon hasn't stuck to the pan. After cooking each fillet on medium for only about 5 minutes on each side they were done! Also, while doing this I prepped the other skillet with EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil), Minced Garlic, Salt, and pepper to taste. Once this was mixed and heated up to medium heat I placed the asparagus into the pan and cooked until they were "flippy" but still crispy!

As soon as everything was done, plating was a breeze! Be sure to wipe the plate off to give it that professional chef presentation! Take a look at the pictures to see if your mouth waters as mine does!


Dakota thought it was good also!
