• Trim the bottoms of the asparagus and cook for 30 seconds in the boiling water. Remove from the pot to a plate.
• Place the salmon fillets on a large plate and coat with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Put the salmon fillets on the hottest part of the grill, starting with the skinless side down. Grill for about 5 to 10 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.

SALMON AND DILL CHOWDER WITH PASTRY CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Choose 4 bowls or shallow small casseroles to serve in and use one of them as a template to cut out 4 pastry pieces the size and shape of your serving dishes. Use a sharp paring knife to work around your dish. Arrange the pastry on a nonstick baking sheet or on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Beat the egg with a splash of water and brush the dough with egg wash. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until deeply golden and puffed.
• Meanwhile, season the fish with a little salt and pepper. Place the salmon in a small skillet with the wine, just enough to come up to the top of the fillets. Add the bay leaf and lemon slices. Bring the fish to gentle boil, lower the heat, and then simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until opaque.
• While the fish poaches, in a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the extra-virgin olive oil. Add the onion, celery, and potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and crab boil seasoning. Cover and sweat the vegetables for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Turn off the heat under the salmon. Remove the salmon to a dish and flake it up. Strain the broth and reserve about 1 to 1 1/2 cups.
• Add the chicken stock, reserved fish stock, and cream to the vegetables. While it comes to a boil, make a roux in small skillet. Melt the butter, and then whisk in the flour. Add the stock and whisk for 1 minute. Stir in the Dijon. Add the roux to the soup and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes to thicken the chowder to the consistency of loose gravy.
• Add in the peas, flaked salmon, and dill and heat through. Serve in individual dishes topped with pastry tops.

PANKO-CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

• Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a board. Generously brush the top of the fillets with mustard and then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Press the panko mixture thickly on top of the mustard on each salmon fillet. The mustard will help the panko adhere.
• Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large heavy, ovenproof pan. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, without turning, to brown the skin.
• Transfer the pan to the hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the salmon is almost cooked and the panko is browned. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the salmon hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.
