Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, fresh dill, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest to create the herb butter.

Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and place them skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

While the salmon is cooking, toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or roast them for 5-7 minutes until tender.

Remove the salmon from the grill and immediately top each fillet with a dollop of the herb butter. Serve with the roasted vegetables and enjoy immediately.
