Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced
1 large lemon, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches each).
Step 2: Divide the trimmed asparagus into four equal portions and place each portion in the center of a foil sheet.
Step 3: Place one salmon fillet on top of each bed of asparagus.
Step 4: Season each fillet with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 5: Top each fillet with one tablespoon of butter and two slices of lemon.
Step 6: Fold the sides of the foil inward and seal the edges tightly to create a sealed packet, leaving a little room for steam inside.
Step 7: Place the packets on a grill grate over hot campfire coals or a medium-high grill.
Step 8: Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9: Carefully open the packets (watch for steam!) and garnish with fresh dill before serving.
Notes
Ensure the fire has burned down to coals for even heat. Heavy-duty foil is essential to prevent tearing.
