Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F (200°C) and bring 4 cups water to a boil.
Cut the dry ends off the asparagus and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Season the salmon generously with sea salt and pepper, add 1/2 Tbsp butter per filet and add to a parchment paper bag.
Add 1/2 of the asparagus to each bag as well as half of the garlic, one slice of lemon, and half of the dill.
Close the bags by folding and crimping really well and then place on a baking sheet.
By now the water should be boiling, so add your baby potatoes to the boiling water and set a timer for 15 minutes.
5 minutes into the potato cooking time, add the baking sheet to the oven and bake the pouches for 10-12 minutes.
Let the pouches cool down for a couple of minutes, then carefully rip them open. Serve with the baby potatoes and season with additional sea salt if necessary.
