This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the salmon and asparagus, and they even asked for seconds.

I'm not a fan of lemon, so I used a different sauce. I made a white wine sauce with shallots and capers, and it was delicious.

This recipe was a great way to use up leftover salmon. I added a few extra vegetables, like broccoli and carrots, and it turned out great.

The salmon was a little overcooked, but the asparagus was perfect. I'll try cooking the salmon for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used salted butter. I'll try it again with unsalted butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but this recipe changed my mind. The salmon and asparagus were cooked perfectly and the lemon butter sauce was the perfect finishing touch.
