Instructions

Start by rinsing and trimming the asparagus. Pro-tip: break off the ends – they snap off easily!
Then heat up the butter in a large enough frying pan to fit both salmon and the asparagus. Start with about 1 tbsp of butter.
Add the asparagus, and heat for about 3-4 minutes. Once vibrant green in colour, move the asparagus to one half of the pan.
Next, add more butter (if necessary) and add the salmon. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Be sure to mix the asparagus so it evenly cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
Divvy up onto two plates and serve with lemon wedges. Squeeze wedges over salmon.
Enjoy!
