Keto Baked Salmon and Asparagus in Foil with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce dinner
keto Baked Salmon and Asparagus in Foil with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce. Salmon has never been easier to cook, nor has it ever tasted better, lightly seasoned, doused in herb butter, and wrapped up in a packet to bake in the oven. As an extra bonus, crunchy but tender asparagus cook right alongside the salmon so you have a complete meal and no mess.
Ingredients for keto Baked Salmon and Asparagus :
- 2 slices of salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 1 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce (we used Sriracha)
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 3-4 tablespoons butter, diced into small cubes (or ghee)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
- 1 lb (450g) medium-thick asparagus, woody ends trimmed
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF (225ºC). Cut 2 sheets of 15 by 13-inch (36 x 31 cm) heavy-duty aluminum foil then lay each piece separately on the countertop. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce: broth, lemon juice, and hot sauce.
2. Divide salmon fillets onto the aluminum foil near the center then place trimmed asparagus to one side of the salmon, following the long direction of the foil.
3. Sprinkle over garlic and then season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the sauce generously over the salmon fillets.
4. Divide butter pieces evenly among the foil packets, layering them over the salmon and asparagus.
5. Wrap packets in and crimp edges together then wrap ends up. Don’t wrap too tight – keep a little extra space inside for heat to circulate.
6. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake in the oven, sealed side upward until salmon has cooked through, about 8 – 13. minutes.
7. Carefully unwrap the baked salmon foil packets then drizzle with more lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and a slice of lemon. Enjoy!
