POACHED SALMON & ASPARAGUS WITH WILD GARLIC MAYONNAISE



Poached salmon & asparagus with wild garlic mayonnaise image

Bake this fabulous fish dish en papillote for a smart, seasonal main course that looks spectacular when served at the table

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Dinner, Fish Course, Lunch, Main course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

about 450g fat asparagus spears (after snapping off woody ends)
1 skinless side of salmon
2 unwaxed lemons , 1 zested and juiced
50g butter
cooked new potatoes , to serve
about 10 wild garlic leaves (optional)
3 large egg yolks
2 tsp English mustard
200ml sunflower oil
200ml rapeseed oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
white pepper , to taste

Steps:

  • For the mayonnaise, bring a pan of water to the boil and have a bowl of iced water ready. Plunge the garlic leaves into the boiling water for 30 secs, then lift out with a slotted spoon and drop into the iced water - this helps to keep the green colour. Leave for a few mins, then pat dry and put in a mini food processor with the egg yolks and mustard. Pulse until finely chopped, then scrape into a big mixing bowl. Pour the oils into a jug.
  • Whisk the yolks mixture with an electric whisk. Slowly add the oil, first a drip at a time, then in a steady, thin drizzle - the mixture should thicken and start to look like mayonnaise. If at any point it starts to look greasy, add 1 tbsp cold water and continue whisking until all the oil has been added and you have a thick mayonnaise. Add the vinegar and season with salt and white pepper. Lay cling film directly onto the surface of the mayonnaise so a skin doesn't form, then chill. Will keep for 3 days in the fridge.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a large sheet of baking parchment in a large roasting tin and arrange the asparagus in a line that's long enough for the salmon to sit on. Season, put the salmon on top and scatter over the lemon zest. Thinly slice the remaining lemon and put the slices on top of the salmon with the butter. Pour over the lemon juice and season. Bring the sides of the parchment up and over the salmon and scrunch together to seal, creating a tent over the fish. Bake in the oven for 30 mins.
  • Bring the roasting tin to the table, open the parcel, and serve with a bowl of wild garlic mayonnaise and some new potatoes on the side.

SIMPLE SPICY ASPARAGUS IN A WOK



Simple Spicy Asparagus in a Wok image

Asparagus doesn't have to be treated as a delicate, fragile thing, napped only with butter or creamy sauces, or served plain with olive oil and salt. That's fine for the first week or two of the season, but then it's time to dial up the interest factor and add some spice. Asparagus actually stands up quite well to aggressive flavors. A quick toss in a hot wok with garlic, ginger and chiles doesn't overwhelm it at all, at least if you don't overcook the spears. Instead, the vegetable's sweetness becomes accentuated by contrast.

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds asparagus, medium- or pencil-size
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 small dried red peppers
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon Chinese chile paste
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 jalapeño or serrano chile, finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
3 green onions, slivered
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Snap off and discard bottoms of asparagus, then cut into 2-inch pieces (halve thicker pieces lengthwise first).
  • Set wok over high heat and add vegetable oil. Add dried peppers and let sizzle, then add asparagus, tossing well to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for a minute or so, then add chile paste, garlic, ginger, orange zest and jalapeño. Continue cooking over high heat for a minute, maybe less, until asparagus is cooked but still firm and bright green. (It will continue cooking off the heat.)

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients: For the best results, use fresh wild salmon and asparagus. Freshness ensures optimal flavor and texture.
  • Proper seasoning: Don't shy away from seasoning your salmon and asparagus. Use a generous amount of salt and pepper, and add other seasonings like garlic powder, lemon pepper, or paprika to taste.
  • High heat: Wok cooking relies on high heat to create that signature sear and smoky flavor. Make sure your wok is nice and hot before adding the salmon and asparagus.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: To prevent steaming and ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the wok. Cook the salmon and asparagus in batches if necessary.
  • Sauce it up: The simple sauce made from soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice adds a delicious glaze to the salmon and asparagus. You can also experiment with other sauces, such as teriyaki sauce or a citrus-based vinaigrette.
  • Serve immediately: Wok-seared dishes are best enjoyed immediately after cooking. The salmon should be flaky and tender, and the asparagus should still retain its vibrant green color and crisp texture.

Conclusion:

Wok-seared wild salmon and asparagus is a quick, easy, and flavorful dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of tender salmon, crisp asparagus, and a tangy sauce is sure to impress your taste buds. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy meal, give this recipe a try!
