Balik smoked salmon, soft-boiled egg and asparagus recipe
A tasty, easy-to-make recipe that combines the melt-in-the-mouth flavour of our Balik smoked salmon with creamy soft-boiled egg and crisp asparagus. Serves 2 Ingredients A Balik smoked salmon heart for two One bunch of asparagus 2 large eggs salt and pepper, olive oil balsamic vinegar Method 1) Prepare the asparagus: rinse the asparagus. Fill a saucepan with salted water. Bring to the boil, then add the asparagus for 8 to 10 minutes. (check cooking time according to size. To do this, prick the tip of a knife blade into the top of the stem. It must be tender). Once cooked, plunge the asparagus into cold water for a few seconds to keep them crisp and retain their colour. Cut the asparagus into two or three pieces according to size and place in a salad bowl. 2) Prepare the vinaigrette: pour a tablespoon of olive oil and a spoonful of balsamic vinegar into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix briskly until the sauce is smooth. Pour the vinaigrette into the salad bowl and toss with the asparagus. 3) Cooking the soft-boiled egg: Fill a saucepan with salted water. Bring to the boil, then add the eggs. Cook for exactly 6 minutes in the boiling water, then remove the eggs with a skimmer. Run them quickly under cold water to stop them cooking further, then carefully remove their shells. Place on a plate. 4) Cut the slices of Balik salmon: take the Balik salmon out of its packet and cut crosswise with a sharp knife to make 6 slices of about 1.5 cm. 5) Presentation: Arrange the seasoned asparagus pieces in a nest on the upper part of the plate. Place the 3 slices of Balik salmon at the bottom. Finally, add the egg, placing it gently in the centre of the asparagus nest. Serve immediately.
