Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. Toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Place the asparagus and tomatoes on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the asparagus is tender and slightly charred, and the tomatoes are blistered. Remove and set aside.
Pat dry the salmon fillets and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down, and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. SautΓ© for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the balsamic vinegar and honey to the saucepan. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly into a caramelized vinaigrette. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Arrange the grilled asparagus and cherry tomatoes on a serving platter. Flake the salmon into large, bite-sized pieces and scatter it over the vegetables.
Drizzle the caramelized vinaigrette over the entire dish, ensuring everything is lightly coated.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
