Lemon Butter Salmon With Capers and Asparagus image

This is a very easy, and tasty dish to make for company or a simple dinner at home. The presentation is great for company! I made this for Mother's Day and it was a big hit! My Husband made some garlic mashed potatoes for a side dish, but it would also go good with rice as well.
