This was our dinner last night. Sorry about the half eaten salmon (I didn't think to take a picture until I had already dug in)! All the parts of this meal were so good that in thought I would share the recipes! Enjoy!

2. Cut 6 foil squares, large enough for the size of each fillet.
3. Center fillets on the foil squares and sprinkle each with seasoned salt, lemon pepper, parsley and garlic powder. Sprinkle lemon juice over each fillet. Fold foil over fillets to make a pocket. Pleat seams to securely enclose.
4. Place packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. (frozen fillets take longer)

1. Heat oil and toss asparagus in a skillet, adding garlic and lemon juice. Add salt for flavor as desired.
