Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup maple-flavored syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb salmon fillet (1/2 inch thick)
1 lb fresh asparagus spear
4 cups baby greens
1 cup shredded carrot (about 1 1/2 medium)
1 hard-cooked egg, cut into 8 wedges
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill.
  • In small bowl, mix all Maple-Dijon Dressing ingredients with wire whisk.
  • Cut salmon crosswise into 4 pieces. Brush salmon with 1 tablespoon of the dressing. In large bowl, toss asparagus and 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Place asparagus in grill basket (grill "wok").
  • When grill is heated, place asparagus and salmon, skin side down, on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook asparagus 7 to 10 minutes and salmon 10 to 15 minutes, shaking grill basket or turning asparagus occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender and salmon flakes easily with fork.
  • Slide pancake turner between salmon and skin to remove each piece from skin. On 4 plates, divide salad greens, carrots and egg. Top with asparagus then the salmon. Sprinkle with pepper. Serve with remaining dressing.
