How to Make Baked Salmon in Foil with Asparagus

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the foil by tearing off large pieces.
Lay the salmon fillets skin-side down on the center of the foil. Season them generously.
Arrange the trimmed asparagus around the salmon. Drizzle with broth.
Dot the salmon with cubes of butter and sprinkle fresh herbs on top.
Fold the foil over the salmon and asparagus to create a tightly sealed packet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
Open carefully to avoid steam burns and serve on a plate.
