Guys…I really was just making this for dinner one night for myself while my hubby was out working late. I was not feeling it, and just needed to make something simple. But then the asparagus was so good that I had had to grab a quick shot and share this with you. 5 minute prep for the win!
Also baking in parchment paper is just so darn convenient – truly there is no mess to clean up!
Serves 2
🥄 2 cut pieces salmon
🥄 1 bunch of asparagus, ends snapped
🥄 1 – 2 lemons, sliced
🥄 ¼ c fresh dill
🥄 ¼ c fresh parsley
🥄 Salt & pepper
Preheat the oven to 375F
Lay out 4 pieces of parchment paper. On each of two pieces of parchment paper, lay out a piece of fish. Top with salt and pepper, and half the dill. Lay slices of lemon over top of the dill to cover the fish. Roll the parchment paper up to create a sealed packet for the fish. Roll the paper together at the top, then tuck the sides underneath the fish.
On the remaining two sheets of parchment paper, lay out half of the asparagus on each sheet. Top with salt and pepper and chopped parsley. Top the asparagus with lemon slices, and create packets as you did with the fish.
Transfer the four packets onto a baking sheet and then pop into the oven for about 12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through. Enjoy thoroughly.
