Instructions
- Prepare the skinless salmon fillets by sprinkling salt & pepper on both sides generously.
- Place a foil sheet (12x12-inches) on the chopping board. Arrange 3-4 lemon slices in the center of the foil sheet. Layer 1 seasoned salmon fillet and 4 ounces of asparagus (ends trimmed) on top of the lemon slices. Ready the other 3 salmon fillets similarly.
- Now, make the herb butter by mixing the butter with Italian seasoning & minced garlic. Drizzle it on the salmon & asparagus.
- Wrap each of the foil sheets around the salmon & asparagus. Ensure they are wrapped tight enough with the ends sealed properly so that the buttery juices do not leak while grilling/baking.
- To grill- Place the salmon-asparagus packets on the grill and cook each side for 6-8 minutes over medium-high heat.
To bake- Place the salmon-asparagus packets on a preheated oven set at 400° F. Bake them for 20 minutes till the salmon turns flaky & asparagus softens. - Serve right away with a squeeze of lemon.
