Baked Salmon in Foil with Asparagus and Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce

Recipe Directions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2: Prepare the Salmon

Place each salmon fillet on a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then top each fillet with lemon slices.

Step 3: Prepare the Asparagus

In a mixing bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4: Assemble the Packets

Divide the seasoned asparagus among the foil packets, arranging them next to the salmon fillets.

Step 5: Make the Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Step 6: Seal the Packets

Drizzle each salmon fillet and asparagus with the lemon garlic butter sauce. Fold the foil over the salmon and asparagus to create sealed packets.

Step 7: Bake

Place the foil packets on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the asparagus is tender.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Carefully open the foil packets, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy the tender salmon and flavorful asparagus drizzled with the luscious lemon garlic butter sauce!
