Cooking Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Cut a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap around the salmon and asparagus securely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and minced garlic.
  • Place the salmon fillets in the center of the foil. Surround them with the asparagus and drizzle the garlic butter mixture over both.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  • Fold the foil over to form a packet and ensure it’s sealed tightly.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

You can substitute asparagus with other veggies like broccoli or zucchini. Add herbs or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
