Salmon Dinner

I GOOFED! I DIDN'T GET A PHOTO!!! I'M SO SO SORRY!!!! Also, this one isn't particularly cheap, but it's really yummy so if you have the extra cash, don't be afraid to spend it. This would be a really nice dinner if you happen to have someone coming and you want to impress them. I'll only be instructing on how to feed one, but just double the portions if it makes it easier for you.

-Salmon portion, fresh from the fish department is the very best.
-A big handful of asparagus. About 10-15 pieces.
-1 medium russet potato
-1 tbsp Butter or margarine
-1/2 tbsp Brown sugar
-1 tsp Garlic salt
-2/3 tsp Pepper
-Canola oil

1. Set the oven to 450(f).

2. Cover the salmon with brown sugar, garlic salt, and pepper. All the brown sugar may not be used, but there should be a generous coating on it.

3. Coat a cookie sheet with a bit of oil so the salmon doesn't stick. Let the flavors of the seasoning sink in while you wait for the oven to finish heating up and while you do other things. Just put it in the oven when it is heated. Set the timer for 10-15 minutes (longer if the fillet/portion is unusually huge). If you can't figure out how long it should go in for, cook it until it's solid and flaky.

4. To bake the potato quickly, rub it with oil, rub it again with just a very little bit of salt and pepper. Prick it with a fork a few times. Place in the microwave on a plate for 5 minutes. If a fork doesn't go through smoothly, put it in for another 3-5 minutes.

5. Cut the wood-y bottoms of the asparagus and place it in your steamer. If you don't have a steamer, you can put them in a microwave safe bowl with enough water to cover them and microwave them until they're soft enough to enjoy. When they're done, coat lightly with butter or margarine, and sprinkle sparingly with salt.

Everything should be done roughly the same time. If not, just keep it all warm until it's all finished. Don't forget to peel the skin off the salmon.
