Steps:
- Using a sharp peeler, peel the asparagus into ribbons and add to a large bowl. Add the snow peas, mint, pistachios, feta, lemon juice and zest, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper and toss gently. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over a medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season the salmon fillets on both sides with the lemon pepper. Cook the salmon until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook to desired doneness, about another 2 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness of your fillets.
- Serve family style, placing the salad on a platter with the salmon on top. Place the Fried Eggs over the salmon and garnish with balsamic glaze and mint leaves. Or serve individual portions on 4 plates.
- Heat some oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. There should be just enough oil to cover the edges of the eggs when they are cracked into the skillet.
- Once the oil is mildly hot, crack in the eggs one at a time. Cook until the eggs begin to turn white, then use a small spoon to carefully spoon the hot oil over only the whites of the eggs (avoiding the yolks). This will help the whites cook slowly so the tops will set but still look pretty. Important: Don't spoon any oil over the yolks yet! Only spoon oil over the whites for now to prevent the eggs from turning cloudy.
- After a minute or two of cooking, once the whites are set and not jiggly or loose, carefully spoon the oil over the yolks. Continue spooning the oil over the eggs until they appear to be done to your liking.
- Remove the eggs from the skillet with a slotted spatula, then drain them briefly on a paper towel before serving.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the salmon on both sides with the canola oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Light a grill with a very clean rack and heat it until very hot.
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a large skillet and add the asparagus in one layer. Cover, bring to a boil and boil gently for about 3 minutes, until most of the water has evaporated. Drain the asparagus and set it aside, uncovered, so it will cool without discoloring.
- Cut the tomatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Divide the slices among six plates and, leaving space in the center and around the edge of each plate, arrange the tomatoes in a slightly overlapping circular pattern. Divide the onion rings among the plates and arrange them on top of the tomatoes.
- In a bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients and dribble the dressing over the tomatoes and onions on the plates. (This can be done up to 1 hour ahead.)
- When ready to serve, place the salmon on the grill and cook, covered (if your grill has a lid) for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side, or for about 3 minutes, uncovered, on each side. Transfer the salmon to a serving plate and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before carving. (While resting, it will continue to cook in its own residual heat. It should be somewhat rare in the center.)
- With the asparagus pieces, create a border around the tomatoes and onions. Cut the salmon into 1/2-inch slices and arrange them in the center of the plates. Sprinkle with tarragon and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon and asparagus for the best flavor and texture.
- If you can't find fresh asparagus, you can use frozen asparagus. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- To save time, you can cook the salmon and asparagus in advance. Just let them cool completely before assembling the salad.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the salmon in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to cook it until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
- You can also roast the asparagus in the oven. Just toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until tender.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or avocado.
- For a lighter dressing, you can use a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
