Method

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cooking Liquid

    In a large skillet, combine the lemon juice, dill, salt, and black pepper. Add enough water to cover the salmon fillets. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Poach the Salmon

    Carefully place the salmon fillets into the skillet. Cover and poach for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the salmon is poaching, rinse the asparagus and trim the tough ends. Peel and slice the carrots into small rounds.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus and carrots, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still crisp.

Preparing the Potatoes

  1. 5

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a pot, add the baby potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

  2. 6

    Finish the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and chopped parsley, and toss to coat evenly.
