Ingredients
  

  • 4 6 oz. salmon filets (fresh)
  • ½ cup herbs removed from stalk and finely chopped. For instance: Dill, thyme, flat-leaf parsley, curly parsley, and rosemary
  • 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ½ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning no salt
  • 2 limes divided
  • 16 asparagus stalks

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the grill to medium heat or the oven to 400°F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the herbs, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon pepper, and the zest and juice of one lime.
  • Place each salmon fillet, along with 4 pieces of asparagus, on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to completely cover them, leaving extra space to create a sealed pouch.
  • Divide the herb mixture evenly among the salmon fillets. Using a brush or spatula, spread the herb mixture over the fillets.
  • Slice the remaining lime and place the slices on top of each fillet.
  • Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the asparagus.
  • Wrap each salmon fillet in the foil, bringing the edges together to seal. Fold the edges tightly, making a ½-inch fold, then fold again to ensure a secure seal.
  • Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 13-15 minutes, or place the packets on a baking sheet in the 400°F oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork or when it registers 145°F on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Garnish with any remaining herbs and serve.
