Asparagus is in season! This salad would make a great breakfast/brunch dish or enjoy it for dinner like we did Thursday night.
I’m still learning how to make a poached egg. I have had the most success with suggestions from Marcela Valladolid of the Food Network. I find the instructions in “The Joy of Cooking” to be lacking. Happy Poaching.
The asparagus and egg in this dish were from the market.

Poached Egg instructions from
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/marcela-valladolid/eggs-benedicto-chipotle-eggs-benedict-with-blender-mock-hollandaise-recipe/index.html
1 ½ T lemon juice
2 ¼ t grated parmesan cheese
1 t thyme
½ t minced garlic
1/4 t fresh ground black pepper
¼ t Dijon mustard
3 T extra virgin olive oil
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
2 oz. smoked salmon
2 eggs
1 t vinegar
Combine first six ingredients in a small bowl, stir with a whisk. Gradually add the olive oil, stirring well with the whisk. (I actually combined the first six ingredients with my immersion blender and then kept it running as I slowly added the olive oil.)
Steam the asparagus covered for 3 -4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Divide and arrange the salmon on two plates. Arrange asparagus spears evenly over the salmon.
In a heavy saucepan bring 2 quarts of water to a simmer and add 1 t of vinegar. Break 1 egg into a small bowl or cup and slide the egg into a ladle. Lower the ladle into the water, and hold it there, for 1 minute before removing the ladle and leaving the egg to cook for 2 minutes more. Poach at a low simmer until the whites are firm and the yolks are still runny. Repeat with each remaining egg. Transfer the eggs, with a slotted spoon, hold over a paper towel to dry and then place on top of the salmon, asparagus stack.
Drizzle stack with approx. 1 T of the reserved dressing.
