Ingredients (serving 2)
– 250g salmon fillet
– one bunch of asparagus (approx. 300-400g)
– 4-5 cloves of garlic
– 150g plain Greek yoghurt
– 10g butter
– 10 ml lime juice
– 10 ml soy sauce
– 10 ml olive oil
– mix of herbs
Instructions
Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Cook it in an air fryer for 10-12 minutes at 180°C (356°F). While the salmon is cooking, peel 4-5 cloves of garlic. Mince three of them; you’ll use this minced garlic when sautéing the asparagus. Press the remaining cloves of garlic. Mix them with the yoghurt and a pinch of salt to create the dipping sauce. Set the dip in the fridge.
Give the asparagus a quick rinse. In a pot, bring water to a boil. Once the water boils, add the asparagus for 30 seconds. After the 30 seconds, remove the pot from the stove and keep the asparagus in the hot water for 30 more seconds, then drain it and rinse it immediately under cold water. This trick with the boiling water keeps a vibrant colour and tender, crunchy texture. Don’t keep it in the boiling water too much, as it will overcook.
In a pan, melt the butter and add the asparagus. Next, add olive oil, a pinch of pepper, and stir. Continue by adding the soy sauce, minced garlic, and the herbs (the herbs are optional – I used a mix of parsley and garlic). Give it a final stir.
Note: The process of sautéing the asparagus should not take more than 3-4 minutes. Since it was blanched in the beginning, there’s no need for much cooking time here.
Once the salmon is done, serve it immediately with the sautéed asparagus and the garlic-yoghurt dip.
