4 salmon fillets, skin on or off
1 lb. asparagus spears, wood ends trimmed
1/3 c. butter, melted
juice of 1/2 lemon or 1/3 c. bottled lemon juice
4 large cloves garlic, minced
2 t. fresh parsley, finely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
2/3 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
For Serving:
fresh parsley, to garnish
lemon wedges
Preheat oven or grill following instructions below.
Place each salmon fillet in the center of four 12 x 18 inch heavy-duty aluminum foil pieces. Divide asparagus into 4 equal portions; arrange next to the salmon on each foil piece.
In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, lemon juice, garlic and parsley; pour the garlic/butter mixture evenly over each salmon piece and asparagus; season with salt and pepper; top each pack with 2-3 T. Parmesan cheese.
Tent each with foil, tightly sealing edges to prevent butter from being leaked.
Oven Method:
Bake in 400 degree F preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until cooked to desired doneness. For a crispy top, broil for an extra 1-2 minutes until cheese is golden.
Grilling Method:
Grill, covered on medium high heat for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked to desired doneness. For a crispy top, broil for an extra 1-2 minutes until cheese is golden.
Serve, garnished with fresh parsley and fresh lemon wedges.
