Baked Salmon with Asparagus & Mushrooms and a Very Busy Friday

I've been crazy busy since Wednesday preparing for my eldest daughter's birthday party tomorrow. It will be a Wizards of Waverly Place themed party. Not a big party though...she's just expecting 5 of her classmates and 2 of her friends from her old school. But just as always, I want it to be special by putting my personal touch in everything. I made her personalized party invitations, piñata and give-aways. I'll be preparing all the food, except for the pizza. (I don't have the courage to make my own yet.) I'm done with all the decorations...so today until tomorrow morning will be all about cooking!

I'll be baking a chocolate cake and some cookies & cream cupcakes. I'll share the rest of the menu and some more pictures with you next week. For now, I better do my Meatless Friday post so I can start cooking for the party. LOL.

This dish that I'm going to share with you today is another one of those recipes that I came up with in search of new ways to cook salmon which is Clarise's most requested fish.  I simply call it Baked Salmon with Asparagus and Mushrooms. It has become my family's favorite since the first time I cooked it. 

Check it out! A truly quick and easy recipe that you won't regret trying!
