Steamed Salmon with Asparagus

Steamed to perfection in about 15 minutes, this healthy and nutritious salmon and asparagus dish makes a quick and easy dinner with very little clean up. Serve with whole grain rice or couscous and a squeeze of lemon juice. Be careful when opening the foil packs, as the steam will be very hot.

INGREDIENTS:

4 sheets 12-inch by 18-inch foil wrap
4 5-ounce salmon fillets
1 pound asparagus
1/4 cup lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Break ends off asparagus spears and divide spears into four portions.

Spray center of each foil sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place one salmon fillet in the middle of each sheet, along with a portion of asparagus.

Drizzle with lemon juice and add fresh ground black pepper.

Bring up sides of foil and fold the top over twice. Seal the ends, leaving room for air to circulate iside the packet. Place on a cookie sheet and cook in oven for 15-18 minutes, until salmon is opaque. Serves 4.

Great idea and another winner. I've actually printed this one to take home. Keep the low calorie ammunition coming to help us fight the holiday bulge.
