HOW TO BAKE SALMON IN FOIL:
In general, it is better not to overcook salmon fillets. If you like salmon and asparagus a bit crispy, open the foil packs and broil the salmon in the oven for 2 minutes.
Asparagus can be thick and take longer to cook. You can blanch them first in boiling water for a few minutes before draining and baking in foil packs.
If aluminum foil is a concern, use parchment paper to make the salmon foil packets. Another way to do it is to line the foil with parchment paper, the foil will ensure the salmon packet is well sealed, and you can even throw it on the bbq!
For non-keto dieters, a teaspoon of honey over the salmon fillets before baking is a must!
You can double the number of salmon fillets for a family meal.
In step 1, if you like you can make the sauce with melted butter and minced garlic combined with broth, lemon juice, and hot sauce.
