Roasted Salmon Dinner

Submitted by graffeetee

"Everything cooks together here - the salmon, together with the sides of asparagus and new potatoes. Makes for a simple but tasty dinner. Especially nice for spring, when asparagus is abundant. You can sub lemon pepper for the lemon zest if you like. Just cut backon the regular pepper."
