Preheat grill to 375-400 degrees.
Dry fish fillets with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Tear off four large squares of foil.
Divide asparagus spears between the four squares, then add a seasoned salmon fillet on top of each pile of asparagus.
In a microwave-safe cup, add butter and sliced garlic. Heat for 30 seconds, or until butter is melted.
Add Dijon, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and dill. Stir well to combine.
Pour butter herb sauce over the salmon and asparagus.
Add sliced lemon to each packet.
Tear off matching squares of foil and cover each packet, rolling the edges to seal.
Gently place foil packets on grill grates and cover.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fish reaches 130-135°F internal temperature for medium to medium-well.
Remove from grill and let packets rest for 5 minutes.
Open carefully and garnish with additional fresh dill.

If you prefer your food not to touch foil directly, line each square with parchment paper before adding ingredients.
Internal temperature of 130-135°F gives you perfectly cooked, tender fish. For a more rare experience, reduce cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
Choose medium-thickness asparagus spears for best results.
Assemble packets up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerate. Add 1-2 extra minutes to cooking time if grilling straight from the fridge.
These packets work beautifully in a 375°F oven for 12-15 minutes.
