Lemon Dijon Crusted Asparagus Fries Recipes

DIJON ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mustard, oil, garlic and cayenne. Place bread in a food processor; cover and process until fine crumbs form. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon mustard mixture., Place asparagus in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; drizzle with remaining mustard mixture. Sprinkle with bread crumb mixture and cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 14-18 minutes or until golden brown.

ASPARAGUS FRIES

Steps:

• For the seasoning: Stir desired seasoning combination in a large bowl until well mixed.; set aside.
• For the asparagus fries: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 360 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl until well combined; set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Slowly pour in the lager and whisk until smooth. Dip half of the asparagus pieces into the batter, turning to coat completely and letting any excess drip off. Carefully add a few of the asparagus pieces at a time to the hot oil until all the battered pieces are added, then fry until golden brown on all sides and crisp-tender on the inside, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining asparagus pieces and batter, making sure to bring the oil back to 360 degrees F for the second batch.
• Toss the warm fries in the bowl with the seasoning combination and serve with the lemon aioli.

• Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, vigorously whisk together the mustard and lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking quickly to emulsify the olive oil into the juice mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter, toss with the vinaigrette and serve. The dish may be eaten warm or cold.

DEEP-FRIED PARMESAN ASPARAGUS FRIES

Steps:

• Mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt in one bowl, eggs and buttermilk in another, and bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third.
• Coat each asparagus stalk in the flour blend, dunk into the egg mixture, then roll in the bread crumbs. Transfer to the refrigerator and let them rest for 30 minutes; this will help the breading stick during frying.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry asparagus in the hot oil, working in batches as needed, until breading is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve hot.

PEPPER & LEMON CRUSTED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cook the asparagus in a pan of boiling salted water for 1 min, drain, then run under the cold tap for a few secs. Drain again, toss in olive oil and spread out to a single layer in a large ovenproof roasting tin. Check the salmon for pin-bones, then arrange on top of the asparagus.
• To make the crust, finely grate the zest of 1 lemon, then add this to the butter, breadcrumbs and pepper, and sprinkle liberally over the salmon. Cut the lemons into wedges. Nestle two-thirds of the wedges around the fish, then squeeze the juice from the remainder directly over the fish.
• Roast fish for 12-15 mins or until it is just cooked through, it should be opaque and firm (see How to cook it, below left). Sprinkle with chives, then serve immediately with buttered new potatoes.
