Description

Moist and flavorful, you will wow your guests with this simple, healthy salmon recipe.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces, weight Salmon
  • ½ teaspoons Salmon Seasoning
  • ¼ cups Plain, Light Yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon Thawed Orange Juice Concentrate
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Chopped Cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon Chopped Chives
  • 1 teaspoon Grated Orange Zest
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 16 stalks Thin Asparagus
  • 2 pieces Parchment Paper Cut Into Large Heart Shapes

Preparation

First, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut your salmon into two portions, and season each with 1/4 teaspoon of seasoning.

Set the salmon aside, and prepare your sauce. Combine the yogurt, orange juice concentrate, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Set aside.

In another small dish, combine cilantro, chives, zest, and garlic.

Time to assemble the packets. Lay out one parchment heart on your work space (I cut this like a Valentine heart—you know, fold it in half before you cut). Now, lay down half your asparagus, and then top them with a fillet. Do this close to the middle fold. Now, spoon on a tablespoon or so of the yogurt sauce, and top it with a spoonful of the herb mixture.

To seal your packets, fold the other half of the heart over the salmon. Then, beginning with the rounded corner, make a small one-inch fold. Then, making small, over-lapping folds, work your way around the perimeter of the paper.

Now, place your packets on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes. The paper will be browned and puffed when they are done.

Cooking shears work great to cut these open. You can serve them with the extra yogurt sauce, if you choose.

This was delicious! The layers created great flavor throughout of citrus and herb which made for a great combination.

this is so fresh and tasty! the orange flavor is really subtle, though that might be because I used reduced fresh orange juice instead of concentrate. I love it, though. the cooking time was just right and the fish was cooked perfectly. one change is that I did not cook the salmon on top of the asparagus, rather, I used green onion stalks instead. I don’t like soggy asparagus so I roasted some on the side. this is a light meal, perfect for a summer night!
