Ingredients

• 6 orange slices
• 6 lime slices
• 6 salmon fillets (4 ounces each)
• 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and halved
• Olive oil-flavored cooking spray
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Cut parchment or heavy-duty foil into six 15x10-in. pieces; fold in half. Arrange citrus slices on 1 side of each piece. Top with fish and asparagus. Spritz with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice.
2. Fold parchment over fish; draw edges together and crimp with fingers to form tightly sealed packets. Place in baking pans.
3. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Open packets carefully to allow steam to escape.
