Instructions

  1. Step 1: Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on a clean surface. Place one 6 oz salmon fillet in the center of each sheet.
  2. Step 2: Divide 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears evenly among the 4 sheets, arranging them alongside the salmon.
  3. Step 3: Drizzle 3 tbsp olive oil evenly over salmon and asparagus. Sprinkle 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly over each packet.
  4. Step 4: Top each salmon fillet with 2-3 thin lemon slices and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill evenly across all packets.
  5. Step 5: Fold the foil around the salmon and vegetables to create sealed packets.
  6. Step 6: Place the foil packets on a preheated grill or over campfire coals at medium heat (about 375°F). Cook for 15-20 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender-crisp.
  7. Step 7: Carefully open packets to avoid steam and serve immediately.
