Ingredients
- 1 salmon fillet
- 3 ounces cottage cheese, 4% milkfat (84 g)
- 3 squeezes lemon juice (15 ml)
- 2 scallions
- ½ pound asparagus (frozen) (227 g)
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil (23 ml)
Preparing this recipe
- Preheat the oven to 390 °F (200°C).
- Let the salmon thaw for a while.
- Mix the cottage cheese with some salt and freshly ground pepper in a bowl.
- Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper and some lemon juice. Place it in a shallow baking dish. Spread the cottage cheese over it. Place the dish in the oven and bake the salmon for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and the cottage cheese is lightly colored.
- Trim the ends and the ugly green tops off the scallions.
- Brush the asparagus and scallions lightly with oil and lay them next to each other in a hot grill pan. Roast the asparagus and scallions for 8-10 minutes until they are al dente and have nice brown stripes. Turn them regularly and move the asparagus and scallions that are done to a plate.
- Drizzle them with the rest of the lemon juice and optionally some pepper and salt and keep them warm under aluminum foil. Continue roasting the remaining asparagus and scallions until they are also al dente.
- Serve the salmon with cottage cheese on a warm plate and place the asparagus and scallions alongside.
