  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 lb salmon fillet, 3/4 to 1 inch thick

    In large bowl, toss asparagus spears and bell pepper with 1 teaspoon of the oil and 1/4 teaspoon each of the pepper blend, lemon-pepper seasoning and garlic salt.

    Cut salmon into 4 serving-size pieces. Brush salmon with remaining 1 teaspoon oil; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of the seasonings. Place salmon, skin side down, on grill. Close grill. Grill 4 to 5 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork. Serve butter mixture with salmon and vegetables.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    The red and black pepper blend is a zippy combo of ground red pepper and black pepper. To make your own, use about 1/4 teaspoon of each pepper.
  • tip 2
    Contact grills are indoor-use grills that cook the food between two grids. Both top and bottom grids are heated so food is cooked from both sides in much less time than conventional grilling.
