Add clam juice. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes more or until liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup. Add the asparagus. Cover and cook about 3 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Stir in tomatoes, parsley, and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add salmon; cook for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of salmon or until salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once. Serve salmon over vegetable mixture. If desired, garnish with fresh thyme.
