Cooking Steps
1
- Trim ends of asparagus.
- In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook asparagus until tender, 5-6 minutes. Add a dash of water to pan to help asparagus cook.
- Divide between serving plates, season and cover to keep warm.
2
- Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into half-moons.
- Finely chop garlic.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, combine garlic, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and the honey. Microwave in 10 second bursts, until fragrant, 1 minute.
3
- When the asparagus is cooked, wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides.
- When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
4
- In a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves and cucumber with a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Season to taste.
- Divide seared salmon and cucumber salad between plates with sautéed asparagus. Drizzle garlicky hot honey over salmon to serve. Enjoy!
