This quick and easy mustard-dill salmon recipe with roasted asparagus and purple potatoes is perfect to make for dinner or lunch. Containing only 5 ingredients (minus a few pantry staples) and prepped in minutes, it's one of my favorite go-to recipes for quick & easy (and I know Brook loves it!). I also like to make this salmon recipe for dinner guests because the flavors are outstanding, the presentation is gorgeous, and I can prep everything ahead of time. This way I am not slaving in a kitchen before guests arrive. Bonus!
A couple of quick tips:
1.) Double the salmon recipe and serve chilled over a salad for lunch the next day. I love adding green beans, strawberries and almonds (or pecans) to the salad and topping with my Strawberry Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing.
2.) Add a flavor punch to the asparagus by grating fresh lemon zest over the asparagus after roasting.
