This recipe combines fresh salmon fillets with asparagus, green onions, and lemon for a light and flavorful meal that is packed with nutrients.

3.	Drizzle each salmon fillet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and lemon juice, and place 2 lemon slices on top of each fillet.
4.	Scatter asparagus and green onions on top of the salmon fillets.
5.	Fold the parchment paper over the salmon and vegetables, crimp the edges to seal.
6.	Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
