Instructions
Creating the Salmon, Potatoes & Asparagus Foil Packet Dinner is straightforward. Follow these steps for a hassle-free cooking experience:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Foil Sheets: Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, about 12×18 inches each, and lay them flat on your workspace.
3. Season the Potatoes: In a bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Add the Potatoes to Foil: Place an equal portion of the seasoned potatoes in the center of each foil sheet.
5. Season the Asparagus: In the same bowl, add the asparagus pieces and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat, then add to the foil sheets, placing them next to the potatoes.
6. Prepare the Salmon: Season each salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika. Place one fillet on top of the vegetables on each foil sheet.
7. Add Lemon Slices: Top each salmon fillet with a couple of lemon slices for added flavor.
8. Seal the Foil Packets: Bring the sides of the foil up and fold them over the ingredients to create a sealed packet. Make sure they are tightly sealed to trap steam during cooking.
9. Bake: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
10. Serve: Carefully open the packets, allowing steam to escape. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
