Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Divide asparagus into 4 equal portions and layer in center of each length of foil.
In a small bowl whisk together oil with garlic.
Drizzle a little olive oil over asparagus then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Layer salmon fillets over asparagus.
Drizzle top of each salmon fillet with olive oil mixture and season top with salt and pepper to taste.
Top each with about 2 sprigs dill and 2 lemon slices.
Wrap sides of foil up over salmon then fold in top and bottom of foil to enclose making a packet, but don’t wrap too tightly.
Place foil packets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until salmon is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Unwrap and serve warm.
You can also grill these packets over low heat.
