Chilli Ginger Lime Salmon Parcels

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C for fan oven).
2. In a bowl, mix together the lime juice, ginger, oil, garlic, chilli and a dash of black pepper.
3. Prepare two pieces of tin foil big enough to make a parcel around each fillet.
4. Place a fillet of salmon (skin side down) on the middle of each piece of tin foil and place on a baking tray.
5. Place the asparagus around the fillets.
6. Fold up the edges of the foil to prevent the marinade leaking.
7. Pour the marinade over both fillets. Crack a bit more black pepper over the top of each fillet.
8. Scrunch the foil edges together to create a loose parcel of each fillet.
9. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
10. Remove from oven and check if thoroughly cooked (fish flakes easily and is a pale pink colour right through).
