Baked Salmon in Foil with Asparagus and Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce

DIRECTIONS 1. To prepare the oven-baked salmon in foil packs: Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Cut 2 sheets of 14 by 12-inch (35 x 30 cm) heavy-duty aluminum foil, then lay each piece separately on the countertop. Combine broth, lemon juice, and hot sauce in a small bowl. 2. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and divide the salmon onto the aluminum foil near the center, then place trimmed asparagus on one side of the salmon, following the long direction of the foil. 3. Adjust the salmon fillets’ seasoning with more salt and pepper, then sprinkle garlic on top. Drizzle the mixture of broth, lemon juice, and hot sauce generously over the salmon fillets and asparagus. 4. Divide butter pieces evenly among the foil packets, layering them over the salmon fillet and asparagus. 5. Wrap salmon foil packets in and crimp edges together, then wrap ends up. Don’t wrap too tight – keep a little extra space inside for heat to circulate. 6. Transfer the salmon foil packs to a baking sheet and bake salmon in the oven, sealed side upward, until salmon has cooked through, about 9 – 12 minutes. 7. Carefully unwrap the baked salmon in foil packets, drizzle with more lemon juice, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and a slice of lemon. Enjoy!

Amazing! The husband does not like salmon but loved this. The son concurred. Need to make them more than one serving in future.

This was THEE BEST salmon I’ve ever had! So so so easy and even my husband who dislikes salmon said it was amazing! I added a *dash* more lemon juice before throwing it in the oven, and I would also recommend cooking the asparagus for longer than the salmon, ours came out still crunchy.
