Why It Works

Sealing the salmon, asparagus, and simple sauce in foil packets keeps the fish and vegetables tender and juicy.

Cooking in foil packets also makes cleanup very easy.

Delicate asparagus. Flaky salmon. Jaunty mustard. Just wrap them all up in a foil-parchment packet and bake. What comes out is perfectly steamed fish, tender asparagus, and a punchy sauce. The best part? It's ready in 12 minutes with no cleanup.
