Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut large pieces of aluminum foil and place a salmon fillet in the center of each.
- Arrange asparagus around the salmon.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the buttery mixture over the salmon and asparagus.
- Fold the foil into packets, sealing them well.
- Place the foil packs on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.

Notes
- Pat the salmon dry before seasoning for better texture. Keep packets sealed while baking to trap steam and flavor.
