Grilled Basil & Lemon Salmon with Tomatoes & Asparagus

Ok, I've been making way too many baked goods lately and my pants are getting tighter, so it's time to change gears and make something a little lighter. I just noticed I made a rhyme - ha ha. I love salmon and this is such a delicious and easy dish to make. I forgot to get asparagus when I was at the store, so I made it without this time, but it was still delish. Give it a try if your pants are getting tight too!

Grilled Basil & Lemon Salmon with Tomatoes & Asparagus

from Tasty Kitchen

4 pieces of Salmon

1/2 stick of butter

4 whole Roma Tomatoes, diced

1 bunch fresh asparagus

1/3 tsp salt

1/3 tsp freshly ground pepper

1 whole lemon, sliced

1 bunch fresh basil, finely chopped

large strip of foil

Mix the chopped basil into the softened butter and set aside.

Lay out foil for each serving of Salmon you plan to make. You can make them individually or put them all together in one large piece of foil like I did.

Place salmon in center of the foil. Put about a tablespoon of the basil butter mixture on top of salmon and press down slightly with a spoon. Sprinkle with pepper. Place 1 to 2 lemon slices on top of butter mixture. Add asparagus to the packet. Sprinkle with diced Roma tomatoes. Salt to taste and grind fresh pepper on top. Seal the foil together to form a foil packet. Place on medium heat grill for 10-15 minutes (in oven cook 10-15 minutes at 375 degrees). Open steaming packet carefully and enjoy.
