Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ pound asparagus spears, trimmed and bottom thirds thinly peeled
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup chopped pecans
2 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ lemon, halved (juice only)
⅓ (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ lemon, halved (juice only)

Steps:

  • Place asparagus spears into a large skillet, and pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the skillet about 1/2 inch deep. Place skillet over medium heat, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir unsalted butter and pecans into the skillet with asparagus, and let simmer until asparagus are beginning to brown and pecans are fragrant, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Season salmon fillets with salt and black pepper and set aside for about 5 minutes; pat off any excess moisture with paper towels.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and pan-fry the salmon fillets in the hot oil until browned and the flesh flakes easily and is nearly opaque in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Squeeze half a lemon over the salmon fillets as they cook.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil; stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still slightly firm, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well and return to saucepan.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons butter, parsley, and basil into the cooked pasta until coated; sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • To make sauce, melt 2 more tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat until melted; stir in Dijon mustard, and squeeze remaining lemon half into the sauce. Allow to simmer for about 3 minutes to blend flavors.
  • To serve, divide angel hair pasta between two plates, top each serving of pasta with half the asparagus and pecans, and arrange a fillet over the asparagus. Spoon Dijon dressing over fillets to serve.

ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH HARD-BOILED EGGS & CREAMY DIJON DRESSING - ONCE UPON A CHEF



Asparagus Salad with Hard-Boiled Eggs & Creamy Dijon Dressing - Once Upon a Chef image

TESTED & PERFECTED RECIPE- This salad of crisp asparagus spears, chopped hard boiled eggs and a creamy Dijon sauce is a nice departure from leafy greens.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large eggs
2 bunches thick asparagus spears, bottom ends trimmed
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives, for garnish
1/2 cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann's or Duke's
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Pinch salt
A few grinds freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water by one inch. Heat over high heat until the water comes to a rapid boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover with a lid and let stand for 14 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to chill. Peel and chop the eggs and set aside.
  • Bring 6 cups water and 4 teaspoons salt to a boil in a large shallow pot. Add the asparagus and cook 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. While the asparagus is cooking, fill a large bowl with ice and water. Transfer the cooked asparagus to the ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve the bright green color. When cool, remove the asparagus from the ice bath and set on a clean dish towel to dry.
  • For the sauce, mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • To serve, arrange the asparagus spears on individual plates or a platter and spoon the sauce generously over the middle of the spears. Sprinkle the chopped eggs and chives over the sauce.
  • Note: The nutritional information is calculated with the assumption that between the salted water the asparagus is cooked in and the added pinch of salt, there is approximately 1/2 tsp. added salt in the recipe.
