In a covered saucepan, simmer the kasha in 2 cups of water for 10 to 12 minutes (add water as needed), until kernels are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Add juice from the lemon and 1 teaspoon zest; set aside

In a small bowl, whisk sour cream, dill, and Dijon mustard together.
Remove salmon from the water. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or chilled with the dill cream, asparagus, and kasha.
