Indulging in asparagus as long as asparagus season is on! Good thing there are so many different ways of using asparagus. This dish is a light, fresh, easy yet very tasty and flavorful dish made with both white and green asparagus. The asparagus in this dish is fried until warm and tender, but still crunchy on the inside. It is topped with thinly sliced sashimi salmon, browned soy butter and almonds. Its a wonderful combination of delicate sweet white asparagus, slightly more bitter green asparagus, buttery mouth melting and tender raw salmon, warm salty browned soy butter that also has a hint of caramel and crunchy chopped almonds. This dish truly is amazing and is great to serve both as a starter or side dish. It is both gluten, grain free and low carb.
A few tips:
- Use fresh asparagus that is not dry or old.
- Peel the white asparagus before frying it to remove the outer fibery part.
- Remove the bottom part from both the white and green asparagus.
- The asparagus should be warm, tender and golden brown. But it should still be slightly crunchy on the inside. So don’t fry it for too long.
- Use a good quality sashimi salmon, don’t use frozen salmon that is aimed to cook/bake in the oven. It is not the same thing and it can actually ruin the whole dish.
- Cut the salmon into thin slices. If you cut too thick slices it will become overwhelming and might grow in your mouth. They should be thin and delicate.
- I don’t like to make my dishes too heavy, hence I only used about 10g of butter for the browned butter. But you can easily double the amount of butter and tamari/soy sauce if you want more browned butter to top with.
