Tangy lemon brightens up the mustardy flavor of our South Carolina-Style Barbecue Rub and the savory flavor of salmon.

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6–8 oz./175–250 g each)
1 tbsp, 2 tsp (25 mL) olive oil, divided
2 tsp (10 mL) South Carolina-Style Barbecue Rub
1 lb. (450 g) asparagus, ends trimmed
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
Optional: Black pepper to taste

¼ cup (60 mL) olive oil
1 tbsp (15 mL) mayonnaise
½ lemon, juiced
2 tsp (10 mL) South Carolina-Style Barbecue Rub
Optional: 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped parsley (about two sprigs)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
Pat the salmon dry. Brush 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over the salmon, including the sides and bottom. Place the salmon skin-side down on a large sheet pan and sprinkle each fillet with the rub.
Toss the asparagus with the salt, pepper, and the remaining oil. Add the asparagus to the sheet pan. Bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 20–25 minutes.
To make the sauce, combine the oil, mayonnaise, juice, and rub.
Serve the salmon with the asparagus and pour the sauce over everything. If you’d like, garnish with parsley.
