Place the potatoes in a pot, cover them with water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer with the lid half closed for about 20 minutes. Drain them and set aside briefly to cool.
Oven Roasted Asparagus and Salmon
Preheat the oven to 200°C or 400°F. Rinse the salmon under cold water, pat dry and place it skin side down on a piece of tin foil brushed with a little oil. Salt it lightly. Mix the honey with the mustard and a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and spread the marinade on top of both salmon fillets.
Wash the asparagus thoroughly and break off the wooden ends. Place the asparagus next to the salmon on a baking sheet, marinate it with some salt, a teaspoon of oil and the remaining lemon juice. Give it a toss to cover every asparagus spear with the marinade.
Cut the second lemon in half, add it to the baking sheet and place it in the oven for 15minutes.
Crispy Potatoes
Meanwhile, cut the potatoes in half or thirds and fry them with the remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Then lightly salt them and keep them warm over low heat until the asparagus and salmon are ready.
Serve
Wash the spinach and mix with the juice of the roasted lemon. Tear the salmon into small pieces by using two forks. Spread the spinach on two plates, place the asparagus on top, and serve it with the potatoes and the pulled salmon.
