-In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve with the salmon.
-In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the salt and pepper; drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the other lined baking sheet, and turn the potatoes out onto the sheet; place into the oven and allow to roast for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden an tender. (Meanwhile, prepare the asparagus.)
