1/4 cup whipped cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon roughly chopped fresh dill

Categories     Entree

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch asparagus ((trimmed and washed // ~12 ounces as original recipe is written))
1 pinch each sea salt + black pepper
2 medium lemons ((sliced thinly))
3 1/2 Tbsp olive oil ((divided))
3-4 large cloves garlic ((minced))
10 ounces bow tie pasta ((~5 cups as original recipe is written // see notes if GF*))
2 1/2 cups unsweetened plain almond milk*
3-4 Tbsp all-purpose flour ((sub another thickener if GF*))
1-2 Tbsp nutritional yeast ((optional // for a subtle cheesy flavor))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C). Add asparagus to a baking sheet and toss with 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and a pinch each salt and pepper (amounts as original recipe is written // alter if adjusting batch size). Top with several thin slices of lemon and bake for 20-25 minutes. Once finished cooking, remove from oven and roughly chop into thirds.
  • In the meantime, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt generously.
  • While the water's heating, bring a large skillet to medium heat. Once hot, add 3 Tbsp olive oil (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) and garlic. Whisk and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes or until garlic is just starting to brown.
  • Add 3 Tbsp flour (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) and whisk. Cook for 30 seconds, then whisk in almond milk 1/2 cup at a time. TIP: Use a large flat spatula to smash down the bits of garlic and flour to properly incorporate. Add a healthy pinch salt and pepper and whisk. Slightly lower heat and continue cooking to thicken, stirring occasionally.
  • Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package instructions. Then drain and set aside.
  • For extra creamy sauce, add sauce to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend. Add nutritional yeast and another pinch of salt and pepper. If it looks runny, add remaining flour (or cornstarch). Blend until creamy and smooth, using the "puree" or "liquify" setting if possible. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then add back to pan and continue cooking over medium to medium-low heat to thicken.
  • Once your sauce has reached desired thickness, add the juice of half a lemon and stir.
  • Add 3/4 of the chopped asparagus and the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
  • Divide between 2-3 serving plates (per original recipe // adjust if altering batch size) and top with remaining asparagus. Serve with a lemon wedge and vegan parmesan cheese.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a few days.

SANDY'S SALMON WITH ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND LEMON-CAPER SAUCE image

Categories     Fish     Buffet

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon drained capers, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 1½-pound skinless salmon fillet (1¼ to 1½ inches thick)
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk first 6 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 450°F. cut three ½-inch-deep slits crosswise in top of salmon. Arrange asparagus in even layer on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and turn to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place salmon atop asparagus; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until salmon is just opaque in centre, about 20 minutes. Transfer asparagus and salmon to platter. Cut into 4 pieces along slits. Spoon the sauce over the salmon and serve

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus that is firm and has tight, closed tips. Avoid asparagus that is limp or has woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus, about 1-2 inches from the bottom. You can also use a vegetable peeler to remove any tough outer skin.
  • Blanch the asparagus: Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its color and crispness. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it is bright green and tender. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use high-quality smoked salmon: The quality of the smoked salmon will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for smoked salmon that is moist and has a delicate smoky flavor.
  • Make the Meyer lemon sauce ahead of time: The Meyer lemon sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. This makes it a great option for a make-ahead appetizer.

Asparagus and smoked salmon bundles with Meyer lemon sauce is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The asparagus is tender and crisp, the smoked salmon is rich and flavorful, and the Meyer lemon sauce is light and refreshing. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
