"Asparagus and salmon make a perfect pairing for a delicious and satisfying meal."
Ingredients:
  • 4 x 175g skinless salmon fillets
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 4 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 11.80 gm Dijon mustard
  • 20.00 ml white wine vinegar
  • 3 tsp chopped fresh tarragon (see note)
  • 2.50 gm caster sugar
  • 2 bunches asparagus, trimmed
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. 2. Place four 30cm squares of baking paper on 2 baking trays. 3. Put a salmon fillet on each square of paper, top with lemon slices and a sprig of thyme. 4. Drizzle each fillet with 1 teaspoon of oil and season with salt and pepper. 5. Fold the edges of the paper together to create well-sealed parcels. 6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
  • In a jug, blend together the mustard, vinegar, tarragon, sugar, and remaining oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set the flavorful dressing aside.
  • Cook the asparagus in a pot of lightly salted boiling water for 2 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly and keep warm.
  • Plate the salmon and blanched asparagus, then generously drizzle with the flavorful tarragon dressing before serving.
