Ingredients
Herb dressing
Barbecued spring asparagus with salmon
Method
1.To make herb dressing, combine parsley, 1 tablespoon oil and salt in mortar. Pound with pestle until smooth. Then whisk in remaining oil and vinegar. Season to taste.
2.Preheat char-grill, barbecue grill or frying pan on high. Brush asparagus and salmon with oil. Season to taste.
3.Char-grill salmon for 2-3 minutes. Add asparagus, corn and lemon to the grill. Turn salmon and cook everything for another 2-3 minutes, until cooked to taste.
4.Slice kernels from corn cobs using a sharp knife and cut asparagus into halves.
5.In a large bowl, gently toss asparagus, corn, tomatoes, spinach and half dressing together. Arrange on plates and top with salmon slices. Drizzle with remaining dressing and serve with lemon.
Instead of parsley, use chives, tarragon, coriander or dill for the dressing, if preferred.
