Salmon With Asparagus and Leek

Salmon recipes are sought after quite a lot. I suppose this is due to the great taste salmon has and to its reputation of celebrity food. Being a big fish, salmon can be sliced in such a manner that your guests would never encounter an unexpected bone in their plate or in their mouth. Salmon is the kings’ dish. Cooked properly, it can make eating a pure pleasure. You can never get enough of a well-cooked salmon recipe.

  • 600 g. salmon
  • 400 g. asparagus
  • 300 g. tomatoes

  2. Turn it on both sides.
  3. Fry the tomatoes. Peel them off and cut them in thin blades. Leave part of them for the salad.
