Asparagus and Morels - Taste Heaven

Another night, another asparagus dinner. As luck would have it we were working in another area that had been burnt last year and sure enough there were more Morels to be found. One of my favorite food combinations of all time is asparagus and morels fried in butter with a little garlic and salt. What makes this dish so enjoyable is knowing just how seasonal it is. You may only have a 2-3 week window in which to eat these two great foods together. Well I didn't waste any time and within minutes of getting home from work I was in the kitchen whipping up this tasty dinner.
serves 2
20 minutes

• 2 salmon fillets
• as many morels as you want, cut in half or quarters
  
• as much asparagus as you want, cut into 3 inch long pieces
  
• left over quinoa and black beans
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 clove of garlic, finely minced

1. Reheat your quinoa (see last post for recipe).
2. In a pan at medium heat melt butter and add the asparagus. Cook for 4 minutes.
3. Add morels and garlic and cook for a further 4 minutes.
4. At the same time, in another pan at medium high heat, melt a little butter and place your 2 salmon fillets. With a cover on the pan cook each side for 4 minutes for perfection, or longer if you want it cooked through.
5. Place all the cooked food on a plate and serve with a little salt and pepper.
6. A little grated Romano or Parmesan also goes quite nice with this meal.
