Salmon and Asparagus in a Bag Recipe

  • 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
  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.
