A simple lunch to throw together for company. Light and full of fresh flavors, you won’t have to slave over the stove to get this on the table.
Set salmon on a large rimmed baking sheet; coat both sides with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Toss potatoes with another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper; place, cut side down, on a second rimmed baking sheet. Toss asparagus with remaining tablespoon of oil and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper.
Adjust oven racks to lowest and upper-middle position. Place potatoes on bottom rack and salmon on upper rack of cold oven, then heat oven to 400ºF. Roast until salmon is just opaque throughout, about 25 minutes, and potatoes are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer salmon to a large platter; add asparagus to salmon roasting pan; continue to roast, along with potatoes, until bright green and just tender, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness. Meanwhile, mix extra virgin olive oil, parsley, dill, capers and juice, scallions and lemon zest in a small bowl; set aside.
To serve, spoon dill mixture over salmon, garnishing platter with parsley, dill sprigs, and lemon wedges. Arrange potatoes and asparagus on platter with salmon. Serve immediately.

Cooked salmon this way after reading ree’s post. I didn’t make the whole dish but the salmon was wonderful. Starting it in a cold oven works perfectly and it had fantastic flavor even with such simple seasoning. Will probably cook salmon this way from now on!
