Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?

Yes, frozen salmon can be used, but it is best to thaw it completely before cooking to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.

How do I know when the salmon is done?

The salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

You can prep these foil packs ahead of time and store them in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. Just remember to keep them sealed well.

These foil packs pair wonderfully with a light salad, quinoa, or even a simple rice dish for a complete meal.

Absolutely! Feel free to include bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, or even cherry tomatoes for added flavor and color.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lay out four pieces of aluminum foil on a baking sheet.
Place a salmon fillet in the center of each piece of foil.
Arrange the asparagus around the salmon.
Combine the melted butter, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and stir until well blended.
Drizzle the garlic lemon butter sauce generously over the salmon and asparagus.
Fold the foil packs tightly to seal.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
Carefully open the foil packs and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.

Ensure the foil is sealed tightly to lock in flavors and moisture. Use fresh ingredients for the best taste.
