For the asparagus: Peel asparagus and trim off woody ends. Boil water, salt, sugar, and asparagus for approximately 15 minutes . Drain, reserve some cooking water, and let cool.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (approximately 390°F).
For the pancakes: Combine flour, tarragon and milk. Stir in egg and season with salt. Add more milk, if needed, to form a thin pancake batter. Heat some butter in a pan and fry 4 pancakes.
For the filling: Combine creme fraiche and lemon juice and spread on pancakes. Top with smoked salmon and asparagus and roll. Place the rolls in an ovenproof pan and pour over sauce. Bake until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and serve garnished with chives.
