Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Vegetables
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 1 lemon, sliced
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Foil Sheets: Tear four sheets of aluminum foil large enough to hold each portion. Place one salmon fillet on each sheet along with one-quarter of the trimmed asparagus and lemon slices.
- Season Ingredients: Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and asparagus evenly, then season with salt and pepper according to your preference to enhance the flavors.
- Add Herbs: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and dill over the salmon and vegetables, imparting a fresh, herbal aroma and taste to the foil packets.
- Seal Foil Packs: Fold the foil sheets carefully over the ingredients, sealing the edges tightly to create secure packets that will steam food inside while grilling.
- Grill Foil Packs: Place foil packets on a grill preheated to medium heat. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.
- Serve Warm: Carefully open the hot foil packs to avoid steam burns and serve the salmon and asparagus warm immediately, enjoying the fresh lemon and herb flavors.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, use salmon fillets of similar thickness.
- You can substitute fresh rosemary or thyme for parsley and dill if preferred.
- Chicken or vegetable broth can be added inside the foil for extra moisture.
- For indoor cooking, bake the foil packets in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes instead of grilling.
- Check doneness by ensuring salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
