Description
Simple recipe for baking salmon fillets and asparagus together in foil packets for easy cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Tear off two large pieces of aluminum foil, about 18 inches long.
- Place one salmon fillet on the center of each foil piece.
- Divide the trimmed asparagus evenly and place it next to the salmon on each foil piece.
- Drizzle each fillet and asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic, dried dill, salt, and pepper over the salmon and asparagus.
- Top each salmon fillet with a few lemon slices.
- Fold the edges of the foil together over the salmon and asparagus to create a sealed packet. Crimp the edges tightly.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully open the packets (steam will escape) and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute other vegetables like green beans or cherry tomatoes for the asparagus.
- For added flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish before sealing the foil.
