How I make it

  1. Trim off the bottom third of the asparagus.

  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the asparagus for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water.

  3. Bring the cream just to a simmer, add the mustard and stir well.

  4. Add the butter and stir until melted in. Keep reducing until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and oil a baking dish with olive oil.

  6. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and brush with oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

  7. Serve the salmon on the asparagus with the sauce spooned over.
