Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:

1. Marinate the Salmon:
Start with fresh salmon fillets.
Season with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a touch of paprika. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.

2. Cook the Salmon:
Heat a stainless steel frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is flaky and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. Prepare the Lemon-Dill Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in ½ cup of heavy cream, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Simmer for 2 minutes, then add chopped fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Make the Mashed Potatoes:
Boil peeled potatoes until tender, then mash with butter, cream, and a pinch of garlic powder for a velvety texture.

5. Sauté the Asparagus:
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus.
Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the asparagus with minced garlic and a sprinkle of salt until tender-crisp.

6. Assemble the Dish:
Plate the mashed potatoes, placing the salmon fillet on top. Drizzle generously with the lemon-dill sauce. Arrange the sautéed asparagus on the side for a pop of green. Garnish with a lemon slice and fresh dill for an elegant touch.
