This recipe was a disappointment. The pilaf was bland and the salmon was dry. I won't be making this again.

The asparagus was a bit tough. I think I'll blanch it before adding it to the pilaf next time.

The salmon was a bit overcooked. I think I'll cook it for less time next time.

This was an amazing dish! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the asparagus was still slightly crunchy. The pilaf was fluffy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
