Asparagus Salmon Foil Packs
Post sponsored by Mirum but all opinions are my own.
Guys, can you believe it’s almost time for grilling season? Seems like five minutes ago it was winter, and now those Memorial Day cookouts are right around the corner!
For my first grilled dinner of the year, I decided to whip up one of my beloved foil packet dinners. And to celebrate the occasion, I decided to be extravagant. I wrapped up salmon and asparagus, seasoned with garlic, lemon, and fresh dill. Mmm.

Now, normally, when I do a foil packet like this, I have a bit of a dilemma: to butter or not to butter? Do I keep it lean and healthy by sealing up the fish and the veggies in the foil without even a dab of added fat? Or do I make it extra delicious and indulgent by dotting it with butter all over – which is not so healthy, but a lot more fun?
Well, this year, I didn’t have to choose. Because I’ve discovered I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® Original Spray, which gives you all the rich, buttery taste of your favorite spread without the fat and calories.
Guys, this stuff is a total game changer. It makes grilling without fat so easy! All you have to do is spray it on anywhere you want that buttery flavor. You can add up to five sprays with literally no calories, no fat, no cholesterol, no sodium, no trans fats – basically, none of the stuff you’re trying to avoid. And you get plenty of what you do want, which is that delicious, buttery taste.
And as if that’s weren’t enough, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Spray Original cuts down on mess, too. No sticks of butter, no knife, no fussing around trying to distribute it all over the food, and no melted butter pouring all over everything when you open up the foil. Just get out your little bottle, spritz it on, and put it away.
Want these same perks for your summer grilling adventures? Then hurry down to your local Walmart [insert link] and grab your own handy bottle of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! spray. You’ll find it in the dairy section alongside all the fatty tubs of butter and margarine that you don’t need anymore, ha ha ha! Or use Walmart’s Online Grocery Pickup.
So, what are you waiting for? Get moving and pick up your new go-to grilling essential before summer gets started. See you at the next cookout!

I want to make this and most of your grilling meals but live in an apartment and can not grill. Please add oven, crockpot, or air fryer instructions on recipes if they can be made that way. Thank you.
You could do these in the oven. I would cook them at 400 degrees F for about 20 mins.
Thank you. I am anxious to try them.
Delicious 😋
