While the potatoes are baking, prepare the asparagus and salmon fillets. Cut off the woody parts of the asparagus, wash the fish fillets and dry them thoroughly with paper towels. After 20 minutes of baking, remove the pan with the potatoes from the oven and add the asparagus. Push the baking sheet into the heated oven for another 15 minutes.
Season the salmon fillets with pepper and salt. Remove the pan from the oven again and gently mix the vegetables with a spatula. Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish, then season them with a little lemon juice. Pour the remaining olive oil over the ingredients in the baking pan. Push the baking sheet into the heated oven for another 10 minutes so that the salmon fillets are nicely baked.
