How To Make Salmon With Asparagus And Lime

Step 1: Mix the breadcrumbs and spring onions

Step 2: Coat the salmon in breadcrumbs

Next, take the salmon cutlets or fillets and press them into the breadcrumb mixture, coating them all over. Set them to one side.

Step 3: Make the dressing

Put the fish sauce, chopped coriander, chilli, chopped spring onions, garlic, lime juice and brown sugar into a small bowl. Stir together thoroughly.

Step 4: Prepare the asparagus

Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil and have a bowl containing iced water ready. Once the water boils, add the asparagus and leave for one and a half minutes. Remove the asparagus and plunge them into the iced water.

Take them out of the water straight away using a slotted spoon and then drain them on kitchen paper.

Step 5: Heat the oil

For the fish; put 4 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick frying-pan. Place over a medium temperature and allow the oil to heat but not smoke.

Step 6: Fry the salmon

Fry the fish on both sides until all the cutlets, or fillets, are golden brown. Once cooked, put to one side.

Step 7: Cook the vegetables

Using another pan, heat the remaining olive oil and then sweat the red peppers for a couple of minutes, tossing occasionally. Add the asparagus tossing gently for another minute.

Step 8: Add the dressing

Add the dressing to the vegetables and stir briefly.

Step 9: Serve

Serve the salmon on a large dinner plate topped with the vegetables and the coriander and lime sauce. For a finishing touch; garnish with a sprig of coriander.
