Ingredients

4 boneless skineless salmon fillets
1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
1 lemon, thinly sliced, (plus additional wedges for garnish)
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
3 teaspoons garlic, minced
fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Season salmon generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Arrange one salmon fillet and 1/4 of the asparagus in the center of one 12×12 inch piece of foil. Repeat with remaining salmon and asparagus on 3 other pieces of foil. Slide lemon slices under the salmon and asparagus.
In a small bowl mix butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic. Drop large dollops of the herb butter on top of the salmon and asparagus.
Fold the foil tightly around the salmon and asparagus. Grill over medium high heat for 6-8 minutes on each side, or bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, until asparagus is tender and salmon is flaky.
Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.
