teaspoons salt, divided

1
pound salmon fillets

1-1/2
teaspoons olive oil

1/4
teaspoon black pepper

lemon wedges



 
Preparation:
1.
Prepare Basil Vinaigrette. Preheat oven to 400°F or preheat grill to medium-hot. Place 3 inches of water and 1 teaspoon salt in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to boil over high heat. Add asparagus; boil gently 6 to 8 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender; drain and set aside.

2.
Brush salmon with olive oil. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place fish in shallow baking pan; cook 11 to 13 minutes or fish just begins to flake when tested with a fork. (Or, grill on well-oiled grid over medium-hot coals 4 or 5 minutes per side or until fish just begins to flake when tested with a fork.)

3.
Remove skin from salmon. Break salmon into bite-size pieces. Arrange salmon over asparagus spears on serving plate. Spoon Basil Vinaigrette over salmon. Serve with lemon wedges.
