Elegant Smoked Salmon Plates with Green Asparagus and Poached Eggs

Ingredients for 4 people
  • 350 g smoked salmon
  • 1 small jar salmon roe
  • 1 kg green asparagus
  • 1 small bunch wild asparagus (optional)
  • 2 lemons
  • 3 tablespoons wine vinegar
  • A few leaves curly lettuce
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 extra-fresh eggs


Preparation
  • Preparation time: 25 minutes
  • Cooking time: 15-20 minutes


Difficulty: Easy

Peel the green asparagus and trim 3-4 cm from the base. Rinse under cold water, along with the wild asparagus if using. Steam for 7-8 minutes until tender-crisp.

Bring 1.5 liters of water to a simmer with the vinegar. Poach the eggs one by one. Drain on a clean cloth and trim neatly with scissors.

Divide the asparagus, smoked salmon, poached eggs, and lettuce leaves among plates. Scatter with salmon roe, a squeeze of lemon juice, wild asparagus, and freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately for the freshest flavors.

“Wild asparagus is only harvested in spring, in the South of France and Corsica.”
