Salmon Asparagus Bake (Print View)

Fish and greens roasted in garlicky butter for an easy yet fancy meal.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 pieces of salmon
02 - 2 tablespoons stock (veggie or chicken)
03 - 1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon squeeze
04 - 1 teaspoon spicy sauce (try Sriracha)
05 - 4 teaspoons crushed garlic (roughly 4 cloves)
06 - Salt and cracked black pepper as needed
07 - 3-4 tablespoons butter, diced small (or margarine)
08 - 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro or parsley
09 - 450 grams asparagus spears, tough ends cut off

# Directions:

01 - Turn your oven on to 220°C (425°F) and let it warm up.
02 - Grab heavy-duty aluminum foil and cut two pieces about 35x30-centimeters.
03 - Combine stock, fresh lemon squeeze, and spicy sauce in a small bowl. Toss in garlic and butter chunks.
04 - Dry the salmon with paper towels, add salt and pepper, then lay on foil. Put asparagus next to fish. Pour your sauce over everything.
05 - Fold foil edges to make sealed packets, but don't wrap too tight. Pop them on a baking sheet and cook 9-12 minutes.
06 - Open packets with care. Add more lemon juice if you want, sprinkle herbs on top, and dig in.

# Notes:

01 - Want to skip dairy? Just swap the butter for margarine or any plant-based spread.
