Baked Salmon in Foil with Asparagus and Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce

Ingredients:

• 4 skinless salmon fillets
• 1 pound (454 grams) asparagus tips
• 1/3 cup (75 grams) melted butter
• 1/3 cup (125 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 2 teaspoons (10 ml) freshly chopped parsley

• 2/3 cup (65 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley and lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Lay each salmon fillet in the center of a 12×18 inch (30×45 cm) piece of aluminum foil.
3. Divide the asparagus into four portions, arranging them evenly around the salmon.
4. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Drizzle this mixture generously over the salmon and asparagus.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
6. Fold the foil over the salmon and asparagus, sealing the edges tightly to create a packet.
