Ingredients:– 2 salmon fillet– 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed– 2 tbsp olive oil– 1 lemon, sliced into round
– 1 tsp dried thyme– 1 tsp dried rosemary– 1 garlic clove, minced– Salt and pepper to taste– Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
– Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).– Prepare the Foil Packets: Lay out two large sheets of aluminum foil on a baking tray. Drizzle a little olive oil on each sheet to prevent sticking.
Season the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the center of each foil sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and then sprinkle with salt, pepper, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Top each fillet with a few slices of lemon.
Prepare the Asparagus: Arrange the trimmed asparagus around the salmon on the foil. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Seal the Foil Packets: Fold the edges of the foil up over the salmon and asparagus to create a sealed packet. This will trap the steam and keep everything moist during baking.
Bake: Place the foil packets in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked (flakes easily with a fork) and the asparagus is tender.
Serve and Enjoy: Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam), and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve hot and enjoy your healthy, low-carb lunch!
