Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup low-fat milk

1 pinch lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place asparagus on the baking sheet and season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and lightly toss to coat evenly.

  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until softened, taking care not to burn garlic. Sprinkle flour onto butter and cook, whisking constantly until mixture is golden and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk and bring to a light boil until sauce starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 ounces pasta, use a short pasta like rotini or 4 ounces penne
8 ounces asparagus, pencil thin and cut into 1-inch lengths
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 quart water
8 ounces salmon fillets
1/4 teaspoon dill
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
heavy duty aluminum foil
cooking spray
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dry dill weed
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon light butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh

Steps:

  • Turn on your broiler and set your upper rack to the middle position. Let it preheat 5 minutes.
  • Set 1 qt of water to boil in a medium pot.
  • Take a 12" wide section of heavy duty foil and fold into thirds and then fold over the edges by 1/4"- this is what you will bake the salmon on (who doesn't like easy cleanup?). Spray the foil with a spritz of cooking spray, and season the salmon on both sides. Place on the foil and give the top of the salmon a spritz of cooking spray.
  • Bake under the broiler- this should take about 6-8 minutes. When its done, remove from the oven and set it aside to rest.
  • When your water comes to a boil, salt it and add the pasta. You will add in the asparagus during the last minute of cooking.
  • To make the sauce, whisk together the first 9 ingredients of the sauce in a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir occasionally. When it has thickened and no longer has a starchy flavor, take off the heat.
  • When the pasta and asparagus is done cooking, drain and return to the pan you cooked it inches Dice the salmon into bite sized pieces and add to the pasta.
  • Just before adding the sauce to the pasta, stir in the lemon juice and light butter. Dump this into the pan with the pasta, asparagus and salmon, toss gently until the pasta is completely coated with sauce.
  • Serve!

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh asparagus spears that are about the same thickness. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can boil the asparagus in a pot of salted water. Just be sure to watch them closely so they don't overcook.
  • You can use any type of milk or cream in the sauce, but heavy cream will give you the richest flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried herbs are more concentrated.
  • Serve the asparagus immediately after it's cooked, while the sauce is still warm.

Conclusion:

Asparagus with Creamy Dill Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for spring and summer meals. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the creamy dill sauce is rich and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
