Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons vegetable broth or chicken broth
• 1 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce (we used Sriracha)
• 4 teaspoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
• Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
• 3-4 tablespoons butter, diced into small cubes (or ghee)
• 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
• 1 lb (450g) medium-thick asparagus, woody ends trimmed

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
2. Cut 2 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, measuring 14 by 12 inches (35 x 30 cm) each. Place them separately on the countertop.
3. In a small bowl, combine the broth, lemon juice, and hot sauce to make the garlic butter sauce.
4. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on the aluminum foil near the center, and arrange the trimmed asparagus alongside it, following the long direction of the foil.
5. Sprinkle minced garlic on top of the salmon fillets. Generously drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the salmon and asparagus.
6. Divide the diced butter evenly among the foil packets, layering them over the salmon and asparagus.
7. Fold the salmon foil packets and crimp the edges together. Leave some extra space inside for heat to circulate, so don’t wrap too tightly.
8. Place the foil packets onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven, with the sealed side facing upward, until the salmon is cooked through, about 9 to 12 minutes.
9. Carefully unwrap the baked salmon in foil packets. Drizzle with additional lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve with a slice of lemon on the side.
10. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious baked salmon with asparagus!

This recipe is not only delicious, but it’s also a healthy choice for dinner.
