The lemon-herb butter sauce was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try using less butter next time.

I had a hard time finding salmon fillets that were thin enough to wrap around the asparagus. I ended up having to cut them in half.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. The salmon and asparagus were also a bit overcooked.
