Since this was my first time with this recipe I followed all the directions, I even used my "indoor smokeless smoker," or oven as it said. The results really impressed the better half, which is important, but I'm sure this can be made better. It was tented in aluminum foil the whole time (steamed fish?). Oh I guess I did vary from the recipe by adding paprika for color, using regular softened butter, and salting the fish ahead of time. The butter/lemon/garlic/Parmesan mix smelled incredible as I made it.

Ingredients
- 6 oz portion of Salmon
- 7 Asparagus spears
- 1 Tbsp whipped light butter
- 1 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic pressed
- 2 tsp of lemon juice
- Ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Cut a sheet of aluminum foil large enough for the the asparagus and salmon
- Arrange asparagus spears on foil and top with the salmon
- Mixed the remaining ingredients in a bowl to make a paste
- Smear the mixture on top of the salmon
- Cut another piece of foil large enough to cover everything and fold up the sides
- Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes
What I will change in the future
- Cook it outdoors, probably at 325 like we do turkey.
- Forget the asparagus, and do MH's grilled asparagus or his green beans.
- Don't cook by time, cook by temp. Fish reached 148F, just slightly over the recommended max 145F.
- Don't tent it. Lay it on the indirect grill grates.
- Add a hint of light smoke, something like apple or maple.
