Yields 2 servings
Calories: 345 per serving
Ingredients:
- 8 oz salmon or 2 medium sized pieces
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 10 small red potatoes
- 1 fresh lemon
- 3 tsp olive oil
- cooking spray

First, coat a small pan with cooking spray such as Pam. Next, place the salmon in the pan and turn heat to medium. Add ground pepper and 1 tsp of juice from lemon. Cook salmon for about 4 minutes on each side or until starting to brown and fully cooked (center is no longer pink).
Add a squeeze of lemon juice when salmon is fully cooked, before serving.
In a separate pan, place rinsed asparagus. Add 1 tsp olive oil and seasonings such as oregano and garlic to taste. Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes or until asparagus turns bright green.
Suggested side dish: Rosemary Potatoes
Cut small red potatoes in halves or thirds, depending on how small you would like the potato pieces to be. Place in pan with 2 tsp olive oil, 1 chopped clove garlic, and 2 tsp of dried rosemary. Cook potatoes on medium heat for about 15 minutes. Potatoes are done when the insides feel completely soft when pierced with a fork.
