Equipment
- Aluminum foil
- Baking sheet
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 4 fillets salmon 6 ounces each or 170 grams each
- 1 pound fresh asparagus ends trimmed, 450 grams
- 2 tbsp olive oil 30 ml
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp dried dill or fresh dill to taste
- 1 tsp paprika 2 grams
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional for a spicy kick
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Cut four sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap each salmon fillet and asparagus bundle.
- Place an equal portion of asparagus in the center of each foil sheet and drizzle with half of the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Season each salmon fillet with salt, pepper, dill, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Place a fillet on top of the asparagus on each foil sheet.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the salmon fillets and top each with minced garlic and lemon slices.
- Fold the foil over the salmon and asparagus, pinching the edges to seal tightly, ensuring no steam will escape.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully open the foil packets (watch for hot steam), and if desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a crispier top.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Adjust seasoning according to personal taste preferences.
If cooking on a grill, place foil packets over medium heat and cook for 15-20 minutes.
To ensure even cooking, cut the asparagus into similar-sized pieces.
For a dairy-free option, ensure all ingredients are dairy-free.
Always check the internal temperature of your salmon with a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached 145°F (63°C) before consumption.
