2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons minced garlic
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: 1 tablespoon hot sauce of your choice
Instructions:
Preparation: Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare two aluminum foil sheets, approximately 12×12 inches each.
Seasoning: Ensure salmon fillets are seasoned on both sides, and adorned with minced garlic. Position asparagus alongside the salmon on the foil.
Sauce Creation: In a bowl, mix the broth, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if utilizing), and drizzle over the salmon and asparagus.
Butter Addition: Distribute small butter cubes atop each foil packet.
Foil Packet Formation: Carefully enclose the salmon and asparagus, sealing the foil’s edges to create a packet.
