Instructions

    ½ bunch asparagus, 1 fillet salmon, ¼ cup corn, ½ cup cherry tomatoes, ½ lemon, 1 pinch dill
  • Bring the long sides of the foil up to the centre and fold them over to create a seam. Then fold the shorter sides in, sealing the foil packs completely.
  • Place the foil packs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Carefully open the foil packs (beware of the hot steam) and transfer the salmon and vegetables to plates.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh vegetables and salmon for the best flavour and nutritional benefits.
  • Even Layering: Layer the vegetables evenly to ensure they cook properly alongside the salmon.
  • Seasoning Variations: Experiment with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley for added flavour.
  • Grill Option: You can also cook the foil packs on a grill over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Check Doneness: Ensure the salmon is cooked through by checking if it flakes easily with a fork.
