Here are some additional tips for making this dish:
You can use any type of potatoes you like for this dish. Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice because they are waxy and hold their shape well when cooked.
If you don't have asparagus, you can substitute another vegetable, such as broccoli, green beans, or carrots.
The amount of lemon juice you use is up to your personal preference. If you like a tarter dish, add more lemon juice.
If you want to add more flavor to the salmon, you can season it with your favorite herbs and spices.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
