Salmon & asparagus one-pot gratin
Description
Make the most of asparagus in season in early British summertime with this delicious creamy salmon and asparagus one-pot topped with crunchy breadcrumbs
Ingredients
- 30g dried breadcrumbs
- 2 sprigs parsley, leaves picked and chopped
- 100g parmesan
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 25g unsalted butter
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed or finely grated
- 300ml double cream
- 100ml milk
- 500g asparagus, trimmed and halved
- 4 skinless salmon fillets
Directions
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Combine the breadcrumbs, parsley and 25g parmesan, then set aside. Heat the oil and butter in a large flameproof casserole over a medium heat and fry the onion for 5 mins until starting to soften. Stir in the garlic, and cook for 1-2 mins more to soften slightly, then stir in the cream, milk and remaining parmesan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the cheese has melted, then season well, stir and remove from the heat.
- Tip in the asparagus and ensure it is submerged in the sauce. Nestle in the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Scatter the cheesy breadcrumb mixture over the salmon fillets, then transfer to the oven and bake for 14-16 mins until the salmon is cooked through and the breadcrumb topping is lightly golden.
