SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 10 Minutes
COOK TIME: 50 Minutes

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds small new potatoes
Kosher salt and pepper
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
4 6-ounce pieces salmon fillet, skin removed
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 scallions, trimmed and sliced
4 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 lemons, cut in half

	Step 4: Bake on lower rack of over for 20 to 25 minutes while the potatoes finish cooking. Place a salmon parcel on each plate and cut open. Serve with the potatoes.
