Servings 6
Ingredients
- 6 pieces fresh salmon, 4-6 ounces each
- 1 ½ pounds asparagus, ends trimmed
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- zest of 1 lemon
- juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Wash, dry and trim the woody ends off your asparagus and set them aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, add in the softened butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley, salt and ground black pepper.
- Mix until well combined, then divide into 6 equal parts and set side.
- Add a piece of your salmon to a piece of aluminum foil that’s been sprayed with olive oil slightly off center. On the side of the salmon, add ⅙th of your cut asparagus spears in a bunch.
- Take ⅙th of the butter mixture and spread most of it over the top of the salmon and add the rest over the asparagus.
- Seal up all the edges tightly and repeat the process 5 more times, giving you 6 packets.
- Add the packets to a baking sheet (or two if needed) and bake for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, open up the foil, making sure to keep the edges curled up to keep the butter in.
- Increase the heat to 450° and bake another 3-5 minutes or until cooked through. Drizzle the butter over the tops and serve.
