Asparagus wrapped in smoked salmon with Hollandaise


Carole's Chatter: Asparagus wrapped in smoked salmon with Hollandaise


The outcome of this dish looked quite pretty but I felt it was a bit fiddly.  Maybe more for a special appetiser.

Ingredients:

Asparagus
Smoked Salmon slices
Lemon peel
Pepper
Olive oil
Hollandaise sauce (store bought)

Method:

Trim the asparagus – by this I mean snap a bit of the end of each spear and then peel another inch or so on the end.

Lightly steam the asparagus together with some finely chopped lemon peel

Wrap a salmon slice around 2 or 3 spears of asparagus – if I had more salmon available I would wrap the asparagus individually.

Fry each asparagus bundle in some good olive oil – I didn't turn the bundles over because I noticed that the salmon on the bottom was changing colour.

Heat your sauce.

Plate your bundles with some sauce – you will be able to make it much more beautiful than I managed.  A grind of pepper and you are done.
