Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Rinse the salmon fillets; pat dry. Discard the woody ends from the asparagus.
Place 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Arrange the asparagus spears in the center of each sheet. Lay a salmon fillet on top of the asparagus in each packet. Drizzle with olive oil; squeeze fresh lemon juice on the tops. Add garlic; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and choice of herbs.
Fold the aluminum foil over the salmon and asparagus, crimping the edges to seal tightly.
Place the foil packets on the baking sheet.
