- 1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2. Prepare the Parchment: Cut two large pieces of parchment paper, about the size of a baking sheet.
- 3. Assemble Ingredients: On one side of each parchment piece, lay down a few asparagus spears. Place a salmon fillet on top, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, and drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil.
- 4. Seal the Packets: Fold the parchment over to create a pocket around the salmon and asparagus. Crimp the edges tightly to seal in flavors. Place the packets on a baking sheet.
- 5. Bake the Packets: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until you hear soft sizzling sounds indicating doneness.
- 6. Serve: Carefully unwrap each packet (watch out for steam!) and serve immediately, adding extra lemon juice if desired.
