Rinse salmon steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Rub salmon fillets with pepper seasoning; set aside.

Wash asparagus; snap off and discard woody bases; scrape off scales; in a large skillet, cook asparagus in boiling water, covered, for 4-8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove asparagus from cooking liquid, reserving liquid in skillet. Rinse asparagus in cold water; chill.
