Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup panko
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems
1 sprig fresh tarragon leaves, plus 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
Four 6-ounce skinless center-cut salmon fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
1 pound thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups shelled English peas or thawed frozen peas (about 10 ounces)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 radishes, thinly sliced (about 4 ounces) (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Bring 8 cups of salted water to a boil in a covered large saute pan. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set a mesh strainer on top of the ice.
  • Pulse the panko, parsley, the leaves from 1 sprig fresh tarragon and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a mini food processor until the herbs are coarsely chopped. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the oil and pulse until the mixture is combined. Transfer to a plate.
  • Combine the brown sugar, mustard, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon generously with the mustard mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press a salmon fillet, top-side down, into the panko mixture. Place, panko-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining fillets and bake until the panko is toasted and the salmon is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the asparagus and peas in the saute pan of boiling water and cook until almost crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the prepared ice bath with a slotted spoon and let cool, about 1 minute.
  • Meanwhile, heat a second large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the butter, swirling, until melted. Drain the cooled vegetables and add to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the radishes, the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 2 tablespoons tarragon. Toss to combine, taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve the salmon with the asparagus salad and a lemon wedge.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4 Servings, more (4-6) if served family style, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb asparagus, cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces on an angle
2 cups cremini mushrooms (cut in half or quarters depending on the size more of less to taste)
1 small onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
6 cups bibb lettuce (1 1/2 cups per person)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
salt
pepper
6 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 teaspoons stone ground mustard (dijon will work, but nearly as good)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1 -2 teaspoon milk (used to thin out the dressing, use as much as you like)
salt, to taste (go easy, the cheese is salty)
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Dressing -- Make this ahead and refrigerate until ready to use. In a small bowl, add the yogurt, mustard and parmesan, salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to use. If the dressing is too thick for you, add a little of the milk. I usually add about 1 teaspoon, but add more if you like the dressing a bit thinner. Make ahead, it is even better.
  • Asparagus and Mushrooms -- When ready to make the salad, add the asparagus and mushrooms to a small bowl and mix with the olive oil, italian seasoning, pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well and add to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or not. The parchment paper makes for a quick clean up. Roast in a 425 degree oven, middle shelf for 7-10 minutes. You want the asparagus and mushrooms roasted and slightly tender, but not over done.
  • Salad and Plate -- In a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the dressing and toss with the lettuce and onion. Plate about 1 1/2 cups of the lettuce per plate and top with the asparagus and mushrooms. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad and serve. ENJOY! This is a simple but very good salad.

ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH SOY-MUSTARD DRESSING



Asparagus Salad with Soy-Mustard Dressing image

There are real differences between skinny and fat asparagus spears, aside from appearance, and it's worth attending to them. With either, you must first break off the woody bottoms (magically, they snap off in pretty much the right place every time), a quick but necessary chore. But it is always worth peeling thick asparagus, from stem to the bottom of the flower bud. The best way to do this is with a vegetable peeler. Lay each spear on a flat surface and give it a few quick strokes. The difference between peeled and unpeeled thick spears is substantial. When they are peeled, they can be cooked for considerably less time, leaving them bright green and perfectly crisp-tender, rather than a soggy mess. They're done when you can easily insert a skewer or a thin-bladed knife into the thickest part of the stalk. (If you don't peel them, the soggy mess is just about the only way to get the skin tender.)

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound thick asparagus, trimmed and peeled
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 egg yolks, preferably organic
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Extra virgin olive oil as necessary

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook asparagus just until bright green but tender, up to 4 or 5 minutes for thicker spears. Drain and immediately rinse with cold water (or, better still, plunge into ice water). Drain again and set aside. (You can wrap asparagus and refrigerate for up to a day at this point. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
  • Whisk together mustard, egg yolks, soy sauce, lemon juice and just enough olive oil (start with a tablespoon) to make a smooth dressing. Toss with asparagus and serve.
