- 1 tsp Mustard (I used Colman's English mustard)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
Grilled Salmon and Asparagus
- In a medium to big bowl, mix the herbs, the salt, the black pepper and the olive oil. Add the chopped garlic. Place the salmon fillets in the bowl and let marinate for an hour in the fridge.
- Wash the asparagus and sprinkle some salt on top. Set aside in the fridge while the salmon is marinating.
- Heat the grill to 180°C ~ 356°F. Place the salmon and the asparagus directly on a greased grill rack.
- Cook skin side down for 6-7 minutes, turn the fish once halfway through grilling and grill for another 6-7 minutes. Repeat the same steps with the asparagus. Remove from the grill when done.
- Remove the salmon's skin after grilling. It is optional, not compulsory.
- Garnish with the grilled asparagus and serve with Tartar sauce (2-3 tbsp per fillet) and lemon wedges if desired.
- Bon Appetit!
Tartar Sauce
- While grilling the fish and the asparagus, toss all the Tartar sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix until well combined. Refrigerate for 3 days.
