Grilled Basil & Lemon Salmon with Tomatoes & Asparagus

• Butter substitute like I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter or 1/2 stick softened butter
•1 bunch of fresh basil, finely chopped
•1-2 lemons, sliced
•3-4 Roma Tomatoes, diced
•Fresh Asparagus
•Salmon Fillets – if you have a large slab of Salmon, slice it into portions as they will be served
•Salt
•Fresh Ground Pepper
•Foil
Directions
1.Mix the chopped basil into the softened butter and set aside
2.Lay out foil for each serving of Salmon you plan to make – foil should be about 12-15 inches in length
3.Place salmon in the center of the foil
4.Put about a tablespoon of the basil butter mixture on top of salmon and press down slightly with a spoon along the top of the salmon sprinkle with pepper
5.Place 2-3 lemon slices on top of butter mixture
6.Add 3 asparagus stems to the packet (rub butter mixture on top of asparagus for extra taste)
7.Sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of the diced Roma Tomatoes on top of lemon layer
8.Salt to taste and grind fresh pepper on top
9.Pull top and bottom of foil up and roll down until it seals in the center. Fold over the sides several time toward the center to seal and form the foil packet.
10.Place on medium heat grill for 10-12 minutes (in oven cook 20-25 minutes at 375°)
11.Open steaming packets carefully and enjoy!Sides: Salad or brown rice.

**My fast rice option is Minute Rice Ready to Serve Brown Rice. I open several packs and cook in a microwave safe glass dish for 2-3 minutes. It’s really good! Living Locurto: Recipe by my friend in real life Cate. Thanks Cate!
