Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 Tbsp ghee or grass-fed butter melted
  • zest of 1 organic lemon or lime
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • a small handful of fresh cilantro parsley, or basil, chopped
  • 1/2 bunch young asparagus ends snapped
  • a few sliced pitted green or black olives
  • 6 oz skinless salmon filet
  • fresh lemon or lime slices
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees f.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted ghee or butter with the lemon zest, garlic, and cilantro.
  • Cut a piece of parchment paper, into an 18x16 inch rectangle.
  • Arrange your asparagus and olives on half of the parchment paper.
  • Lay your salmon filet on top and baste with the butter mixture. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste. Top with fresh lemon or lime slices.
  • To finish the packets, fold the empty half of parchment paper over the salmon and vegetables and crimp the edges to seal them tightly as shown in the video.
  • Transfer your packets to a large sheet pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until the fish is flaky.
  • Carefully cut open the packets as the hot steam may burn you!
