Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that benefit the heart, while the asparagus provides plenty of minerals such as folate and fiber.

You can use green asparagus instead of white asparagus if you want more flavor. Sorrel, which is not always available, can easily be replaced by arugula.

Preparation

Kitchen utensils

1 large non-stick Skillet, 1 Small skillet, 1 Bowl, 1 Cutting board, 1 Large knife, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Teaspoon, 1 Wooden spoon, 1 Peeler, 1 Immersion blender, 1 Salad spinner, 1 Toothpick, 1 Citrus juicer, 1 Slotted spatula, 1 deep bowl, 1 Citrus juicer

Preparation steps

Rinse sorrel well and spin dry.

Remove any thick stems from sorrel and coarsely chop the leaves. Squeeze juice from lemon half.

Place sorrel in a tall vessel. Add yogurt, tofu and 1 teaspoon lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Puree with an immersion blender.

Rinse asparagus, trim woody ends and peel stalks.

Thinly slice asparagus on the diagonal and set aside.

Rinse scallions, pat dry and slice thinly.

Rinse salmon, pat dry and cut into strips, approximately 3/4 inch wide. Place skinned side up on a work surface and roll up each salmon piece from a short side and thread onto a wooden skewer. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat half the oil in a large nonstick pan over high heat. Cook asparagus until crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar and the remaining lemon juice.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a small skillet over high heat. Cook salmon skewers until browned in spots, about 2 minutes per side.

Stir scallions into asparagus and cook until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Serve salmon skewers on a platter along with the asparagus-scallion mixture and sorrel cream.
