Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole Lemon
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 8 pieces Asparagus spears
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 sheets (about 12x16 inches each) Parchment paper or aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Prepare two 12x16 inch sheets of parchment paper or aluminum foil and set them aside.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto each sheet of parchment paper/foil, spreading it to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place a salmon fillet in the center of each sheet.

Step 6

Slice the lemon into thin rounds and place 2-3 slices on top of each salmon fillet.

Step 7

Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them evenly over the salmon.

Step 8

Add chopped dill and parsley over the salmon for a fresh, herby flavor.

Step 9

Scatter the cherry tomatoes and asparagus spears around the salmon fillets in each packet.

Step 10

Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the vegetables in the packets.

Step 11

Fold the parchment paper or foil over the salmon and vegetables to create a sealed packet. If using parchment paper, fold the edges tightly to trap the steam during baking.

Step 12

Place the sealed packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 13

Carefully open the packets (watch out for hot steam), and transfer the salmon and vegetables to plates to serve.

Step 14

Optional: Garnish with additional fresh dill or parsley and serve with a side of rice or crusty bread.
