1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon fresh thyme or teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400F 200C. Prepare four large sheets of aluminum foil.
Prepare the Marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and thyme.
Assemble the Foil Packets:
Place each salmon fillet on a sheet of foil. Arrange asparagus spears next to the salmon.
Drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly over the salmon and asparagus.
Top each fillet with a lemon slice.

Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, sealing the packets tightly.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
