Steamed Salmon and Asparagus

Real Simple has done it again! It's salmon, asparagus and potatoes in another delicious recipe! I highly recommend it. It has a nice lemony taste to it and clean up is really simple.

1 1/2 lbs small new potatoes
2 t kosher salt
1 t black pepper
2 T olive oil
4 salmon fillets
1 bundle of asparagus, trimmed and cut
1 T olive oil
2 lemons, halved

Preheat oven to 400. Place a piece of parchment paper (can substitute with tin foil) on a 13x12 inch baking sheet. Put the potatoes on the sheet and season with 1 t salt and 1/2 t pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes. Roast on top rack of oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Meanwhile, lay out 4 sheets of parchment paper (or tin foil), at least 13x13 inches, and place 1 fillet on each. Top with asparagus. Drizzle with olive oil and season with remaining salt and pepper. Top each fillet with a lemon half, after squeezing on the juice. Pull the sides of paper over each fillet, folding several times to seal. Fold and twist the ends to form rectangular parcels. Place them on a sheet pan. Back on lower rack of over for 20 to 25 minutes while the potatoes finish cooking. Place salmon parcel on each place and cut open. Serve with potatoes. Serves 4
