grilled salmon and asparagus with horseradish sauce

mood: lethargic
listening to: dj krush :: transitions/四極 (japan extra track 2)

after months and months of dancing around it, i finally mustered up the courage to cook some salmon. it's been a long time coming and it was mostly due to the fact that i couldn't think of anything that i wanted to make with it. i wasn't enthused about just laying a salmon fillet on top of buttered rice or anything like that, but recipe intrigued me, mostly because of the sauce that accompanies the salmon. i added in some grilled asparagus for some added variety. i think you'll enjoy this one.
