Description

Imagine tender salmon fillets, embraced by the crisp, savory allure of bacon. This dish is a symphony of textures, where the delicate flakiness of the fish meets the satisfying crunch of perfectly cooked bacon. The salmon, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, offers a melt-in-your-mouth experience, its subtle flavor enhanced by the smoky depth of the bacon.

The bacon not only provides a delightful contrast in texture but also infuses the salmon with a savory richness that elevates the entire dish. Complementing this protein-packed duo are vibrant green asparagus spears. These slender vegetables, artfully arranged, offer a burst of freshness and a welcome counterpoint to the richness of the salmon and bacon.

The asparagus, lightly seasoned and tender-crisp, provides a subtle earthiness that balances the overall flavor profile. Their bright color adds visual appeal, transforming the plate into a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. This dish is surprisingly simple to prepare, making it ideal for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

The combination of high-quality ingredients and careful preparation results in a meal that is both satisfying and elegant. It’s a celebration of flavors and textures, a testament to the idea that simple ingredients, when combined thoughtfully, can create something truly extraordinary. Consider serving this dish with a light, refreshing salad to further enhance the contrast of flavors and textures.

A simple vinaigrette dressing will complement the richness of the salmon and bacon, while the crisp greens will provide a welcome burst of freshness. Alternatively, a comforting bowl of soup can create a heartier, more substantial meal. Whether you choose a light broth-based soup or a creamy vegetable soup, the warm, comforting flavors will complement the savory notes of the salmon and bacon, creating a truly satisfying culinary experience.

The possibilities are endless, allowing you to customize the meal to your own personal preferences and dietary needs. Enjoy this culinary adventure, where simple ingredients create an extraordinary experience.

Instructions

    1.
    Begin by blanching whole asparagus spears (approximately 4 spears per serving) until they turn bright green and are just tender enough to pierce with a fork. Immediately transfer the blanched asparagus to an ice bath to halt the cooking process. Once cooled, cut the spears in half. You have the option to keep the heads intact or remove them, depending on your preference.
    2.
    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange four strips of bacon per serving on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about a ½-inch (1 cm) space between each strip. Place a 4-ounce (113g) salmon fillet across the center of each portion of bacon, as depicted in the accompanying image.
    3.
    Sprinkle salt, pepper, curry powder, garlic powder, and ginger over the surface of each salmon fillet. Drizzle approximately ½ teaspoon of olive oil over each fillet. Arrange the equivalent of 8 cut pieces of asparagus and about 4 halves of grape tomatoes on top of each salmon fillet.
    4.
    Carefully pick up the ends of the bacon strips and pull them over the tops of the vegetables, crisscrossing the bacon strips to ensure they remain secure during baking and do not pop up.
    5.
    Bake the tray of wrapped salmon in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. If the bacon is not sufficiently crisped to your liking, you can extend the baking time until the desired level of crispness is achieved.
