Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and asparagus and seal the packets tightly. This helps trap steam inside, allowing the salmon to cook evenly and stay tender.
6. Cook the Salmon
In the Oven
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
For a slightly crispy top, open the foil and broil for 1–2 minutes.
On the Grill
Place the sealed packets on the grill and cook for 15–20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Carefully open the foil packets to avoid steam.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness.
