Grilled Salmon and Almond-Roasted Asparagus: A Brilliant Dinner Party Delight! 🍽️

Fancy whipping up an impressive dinner party dish that's both delicious and effortless? Look no further than this Grilled Salmon with White Butter and Almond-Roasted Asparagus!

Ingredients

  • 1 chopped spring onion
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine (choose from Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/8 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold)
  • 4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces or 170 grams each)
  • 1 pound asparagus (fresh, trimmed)
  • 2 lemons
  • Fresh dill
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 cup almond slivers (thinly sliced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (200°C).
  2. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and dill. Arrange them on a foil-lined baking sheet, with lemon slices on top of each fillet.
  3. In a small saucepan, sauté the chopped spring onion over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic, white wine, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer until almost evaporated.
  4. Blanch the asparagus spears in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain. Toss them with extra virgin olive oil, sliced almonds, salt, and pepper on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
  5. In a separate saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over low heat, and stir in the heavy cream. Remove from heat and gradually add the remaining butter (1/2 cup) while constantly whisking until smooth.
  6. Transfer the asparagus to the lower oven rack and turn on the grill. Place the salmon fillets on the upper rack and grill for 13-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a minute. Reheat the white butter sauce, if necessary, and squeeze some lemon juice from the reserved lemon ends into the sauce for added flavor.
  8. Serve the asparagus and salmon, generously drizzling with the delicious white butter sauce.

Pro Tips

  • To measure and divide 230 grams of butter for this recipe accurately, convert the weight to volume measurements. One cup of butter is approximately 227 grams. To get 230 grams, multiply by 1.01 (approximately). Then, divide this amount into 6 portions for each component of the dish using an essay spoon.
  • If you don't have a digital scale, estimate approximately 1 cup of melted butter and divide it into 6 essay spoonfuls (around 1 1/2 tablespoons each).
