This is a quick and easy dinner. Pop the packets into the oven while you set the table and in 15-minutes you have a nutritious dish with virtually no clean up. Serve this with a rice or couscous dish and extra lemon on the side. This recipe was found at another web site.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 sheets aluminum foil, wrap (12-inch by 18-inch)
4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets
1 lb asparagus
1 fresh lemon
fresh ground black pepper
seasoning salt
lemon wedge (to garnish)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2
Snap the ends off asparagus spears (they will break where tender) and divide into 4 equal portions.
3
Spray the center of each foil sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
4
Place one salmon fillet in the center of each sheet, top with a serving of the asparagus and drizzle with lemon juice.
5
Sprinkle with fresh ground pepper and salt or seasoning blend as desired.
6
Bring up the sides of foil and fold top over twice.
7
Seal ends, leaving room for air to circulate inside the packet.
8
Place packets on a cookie sheet and cook in oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until salmon is opaque.
9
Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
10
Please use caution when opening the foil packs, as the steam is very hot.

I used Old Bay seasoning on the salmon, and then some sea salt and black pepper on the asparagus. I also subbed a small pat of butter instead of the lemon in the packet, and just used lemon after it cooked. Fabulous!

The only way that we will eat salmon fillets, although mum drizzles olive oil over as well as lemon juice before baking it. it really adds to its flavour. thanks for posting. MISs Pixie x x x :D

A perfect recipe! I knew I'd love this when I saw it, salmon and asparagus are two of my favourite foods and it is so easy to make, yet looks elegant enough for a dinner party. I used a little of a garlic and chili seasoning salt and after 18 minutes I had a beautiful looking and tastebud-tentalising dinner. Thanks for sharing!
