💡 Cooking Tips

• Ensure the salmon fillet is of even thickness for uniform cooking.
• Do not overcook the salmon; it should be moist and flaky.
• Trim the woody ends of the asparagus for the best texture.
• Feel free to add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for extra flavor.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon for perfection.
