Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound medium asparagus
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Pinch cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Spread the spears in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roll to coat thoroughly. Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, put the egg yolk, lemon juice, and cayenne in a blender. Pulse a couple times to combine.
  • Put the butter in a small microwave proof bowl and heat in a microwave until just melted. With the blender running, gradually add the melted butter into the egg to make a smooth frothy sauce. If the sauce is really thick blend in a teaspoon of lukewarm water to loosen it up. Season with the salt and serve immediately or keep warm in a small heat-proof bowl set over hot (but not simmering) water until ready to serve.
  • Spread the roasted asparagus on a serving platter. Grind a generous amount of pepper over the top.

Roasted Salmon With Asparagus, Lemon and Brown Butter image

Ready in just 15 minutes, this fast dinner combines silky salmon with a vibrant green medley of asparagus and peas. While the fish roasts, the vegetables and sauce come together in one pan on the stovetop. Thinly slicing the asparagus is the trick to maintaining a crisp texture that complements the tender salmon, while bright lemon juice and zingy capers balance the nutty brown butter sauce. Parsley is used here to finish, but dill or tarragon would also be lovely. Leftover vegetables make a fantastic omelet filling the next day.

LEMONY ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH SHAVED CHEESE AND NUTS



Lemony Asparagus Salad With Shaved Cheese and Nuts image

Less is more when it comes to asparagus, especially those first tender stalks that show up in spring. Here they're quickly steamed and turned into an elegant salad tossed with a lemony, shallot dressing, and enriched with plenty of grated Manchego or other cheese. Chopped pistachios add another shade of green to the plate along with their sweet crunch, but use any nuts you like, or skip them entirely. This tangy, bright salad doesn't need them.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup pistachios or other nuts
1 pound asparagus, woody ends trimmed
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons soft herbs, such as dill, parsley and tarragon, or a combination
3 tablespoons minced shallots, red onion or scallion
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or cider vinegar)
Large pinch of kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
3/4 cup coarsely grated cheese (1 1/2 ounces), preferably a young sheep's milk, such as pecorino or Manchego, but any firm cheese works, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, spread pistachios in an even layer and toast for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool enough to handle, then roughly chop.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large skillet with 1-inch water. Place steam basket on top, cover and bring to a simmer. Steam asparagus until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Finely chop 3 tablespoons mixed soft herbs. In a medium bowl, combine shallot, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and the pepper, and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk in oil, then stir in pistachios, cheese and chopped herbs.
  • To serve, drizzle asparagus with oil and salt to taste. Dollop with dressing, tear remaining 1/2 cup herbs on top, and sprinkle generously with more cheese. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
