WOOD ROASTED SHAVED ASPARAGUS, PARMESAN, BREADCRUMBS AND LEMON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus lengthwise into strips (if using Brussel sprouts, use a knife or mandoline to shave the sprouts).
- In a large bowl, gently toss the shaved asparagus with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Pour the asparagus mixture into a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and loosely arrange a "nest." Roast until slightly browned and softened, about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed bread and toss to coat in the olive oil. Allow the bread to toast evenly, tossing often, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the garlic to perfume the oil and bread. Remove the bread from the pan to a cutting board and roughly chop the bread pieces. Toss with the grated Parmesan and black pepper, to taste.
- Top the asparagus with the breadcrumbs. Garnish with more grated Parmesan.

Steps:
- Clean and trim the asparagus; remove the tough ends and the tips (you can parboil and save the tips for another dish). With a potato peeler, shave each stem, turning to allow for maximum shaving. Place the shavings into a serving bowl.
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice and a dash of salt and pepper in a small bowl; dress the shavings with the mixture. Layer with the cheese and serve.

Steps:
- Using a sharp peeler, peel the asparagus into ribbons and add to a large bowl. Add the snow peas, mint, pistachios, feta, lemon juice and zest, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper and toss gently. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over a medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season the salmon fillets on both sides with the lemon pepper. Cook the salmon until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook to desired doneness, about another 2 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness of your fillets.
- Serve family style, placing the salad on a platter with the salmon on top. Place the Fried Eggs over the salmon and garnish with balsamic glaze and mint leaves. Or serve individual portions on 4 plates.
- Heat some oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. There should be just enough oil to cover the edges of the eggs when they are cracked into the skillet.
- Once the oil is mildly hot, crack in the eggs one at a time. Cook until the eggs begin to turn white, then use a small spoon to carefully spoon the hot oil over only the whites of the eggs (avoiding the yolks). This will help the whites cook slowly so the tops will set but still look pretty. Important: Don't spoon any oil over the yolks yet! Only spoon oil over the whites for now to prevent the eggs from turning cloudy.
- After a minute or two of cooking, once the whites are set and not jiggly or loose, carefully spoon the oil over the yolks. Continue spooning the oil over the eggs until they appear to be done to your liking.
- Remove the eggs from the skillet with a slotted spatula, then drain them briefly on a paper towel before serving.

Steps:
- Cut the tips away from the asparagus stalks, then cook the tips in boiling water for 2 mins before plunging into iced water. Cook the stalks for 30 secs, then plunge into iced water, too. Mix the olive oil, lemon juice and lemon thyme together in a bowl and season with pepper. Using a swivel-blade vegetable peeler, strip ribbons off the stalks, dropping them into the bowl of dressing as you go.
- To serve, place a pile of asparagus ribbons in the centre of each plate. Drape the prosciutto around the side, scatter over the asparagus tips and Parmesan, then drizzle with some dressing from the bowl.

SHAVED ASPARAGUS AND RADISH SALAD
An easy salad to put together, this is a celebration of the first asparagus of the season, which is sweet enough to eat raw. Omit the anchovy in the dressing if you wish, but it's there to provide a boost of flavor, not to taste fishy. Any type of radish will work but, for a really vibrant salad, look for the many colorful varieties of daikon radish available at many farmers' markets.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and anchovy. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
- Snap off and discard the tough end of each asparagus spear. Using a sharp knife, slice asparagus lengthwise into ribbons. For skinny asparagus, just halve lengthwise.
- Place sliced asparagus in a large salad bowl. Toss with salt and pepper, then add the dressing and toss to coat.
- For each serving, place a handful of dressed asparagus on a plate. Surround with slices of colorful radish, and tuck a few more slices among the asparagus ribbons. Sprinkle radishes lightly with salt.
