Baked Salmon in Foil with Asparagus and Garlic Lemon Butter

 

 Fish is not always a dinner favorite. But when you make it like this, everyone will fall in love with it.

 

INGREDIENTS

 

2 salmon fillets

2 tablespoons vegetable broth or chicken broth

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste

1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce

4 teaspoons minced garlic (4 cloves)

Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

3-4 tablespoons butter, diced into small cubes

2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley or cilantro

1 lb medium-thick asparagus, woody ends trimmed

 

To make the oven-baked salmon in foil packets, follow these steps: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut two sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and set each piece individually on the surface. Combine the broth, lemon juice, and hot sauce in a small bowl to make the garlic butter sauce.

Sprinkle both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then split the fish onto the aluminum foil in the middle and arrange the trimmed asparagus on one side of the salmon, following the long direction of the foil.

Sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt & pepper to taste, then top with garlic. Drizzle liberally with the garlic butter sauce over the salmon fillets and asparagus. Divide the butter into the foil packets and spread it over the salmon fillet and asparagus.

Wrap salmon foil packages with foil, crimp the edges together and wrap the ends. Wrap loosely, leaving some space within for heat to flow.

Place the salmon foil packets on a baking sheet and bake the salmon, sealed, in the oven.

Remove the baked salmon from the foil packets with care, then sprinkle with extra lemon juice and decorate with fresh parsley or cilantro and a slice of lemon.
