Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch of asparagus
  • 2 fresh tomatoes

  • 1 lemon, zest and wedge
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Combine asparagus, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and lemon zest in a bowl with salt and pepper and toss to coat evenly
  3. Take a piece of parchment paper and cut it into a 12x 17-inch piece. Line the parchment paper with the asparagus spears, followed by a fillet of salmon, tomatoes and lemon wedge. Fold the parchment over, creating a half moon shape. Singe the sides of the paper to create a seal on the open side
  4. Bake on a baking sheet until the packets are puffed about 9 minutes. Open the parchment paper and squeeze with lemon wedge and serve
