Ingredients

16 thin asparagus spears
150g fillet hot-smoked salmon , peeled and flaked
1 Granny Smith apple , cut into fine matchsticks
½pack watercress , picked
2 rye crackers , lightly crushed
70g brown shrimp
75ml extra virgin rapeseed oil (smoked if you have it)

Steps:

Heat a griddle pan. Char the asparagus for 10 mins, turning occasionally, until lightly burnt and tender. Combine the oil and vinegar to make the dressing.
