Ingredients:

  • 4 skinless salmon fillets
  • 1 pound (454 g) asparagus tips
  • 1/3 cup (75 g) melted butter
  • 1/3 cup (125 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2/3 cup (65 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley and lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil (about 12 x 18 inches or 30 x 45 cm each).
  3. Place one salmon fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
  4. Divide the asparagus evenly and arrange around the salmon fillets.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly over the salmon and asparagus.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle each fillet with 2–3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Fold the foil over the salmon and seal the edges tightly to form a packet.
  9. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  10. Carefully open the foil (watch out for steam), garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, and serve hot.

Enjoy!
