An easy, elegant dinner that's fun to make. The salmon is delicately infused with the flavor of the vegetables. If you like your asparagus more al dente, just skip the pre-steaming step. Ingredients:
1 pound asparagus spears, trimmed |
1/4 cup water |
1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 tablespoon dried dill weed |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
1 cup sliced spinach |
1 tablespoon capers |
1/4 cup diced red onion |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. Place asparagus and water in a covered, microwave-safe, and vented bowl; steam in the microwave for 5 minutes.
3. Rub salmon with olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, dill weed, salt, and black pepper; place in a foil oven bag. Toss spinach, capers, red onion, and asparagus with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in the foil oven bag. Place vegetables on top of salmon. Fold foil bag closed and place in a baking dish.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Carefully split bag open with a knife to release steam.
