Nori Wrapped Smoked Salmon & Asparagus

Some thing are just so good together ...

For a quick bite, flavoursome and appealing to the eyes, try this.

Take some asparagus and immerse in boiling water for a couple of minutes. You still want the crunch, so not too long.

Immerse in chilled water to stop the cooking and keep the green colour.

Wrap each stalk with some smoked salmon and seal with a strip of nori.

That's Japanese seaweed sheets - there are so many health benefits to eating seaweed, and this gives a great way getting some in.

For primal folks happy with a little dairy, a tartare sauce made up with soured cream, lemon juice, minced capers and minced gherkin, perfect; more pure, perhaps an aioli?

Whatever you accompany with, it's all good. We had them as-was with a good heap of caviar alongside.
