• 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
• 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long each.
3. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Place one salmon fillet in the center of each piece of foil, skin-side down.
5. Arrange a portion of asparagus next to each fillet.
6. Drizzle the garlic mixture over the salmon and asparagus, ensuring even coverage.
7. Top each fillet with lemon slices and sprinkle with fresh herbs, if using.
8. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and asparagus to create a sealed packet.
