Fresh Asparagus & Smoked Salmon Sandwich

Recipe yields 6 servings.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (light or regular), softened
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground coarse black pepper or to taste
  • 24 large asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 6 crusty Italian rolls or French rolls, lightly toasted
  • 12 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
  • ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced, separated into rings

Preparation

  1. Thoroughly mix cream cheese, lemon zest and black pepper. Reserve.
  2. Put asparagus into a large skillet of boiling, salted water. Return to a boil; boil until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain well; spread on paper towel to cool.
  3. To assemble sandwiches, spread 1 generous tablespoon of reserved cream cheese mixture on sliced rolls. Divide salmon in 6 portions. Layer onion rings on bottom of roll, then 1 portion salmon and 4 asparagus spears, interspersing asparagus between slices of salmon. Cover sandwiches with tops; cut in half at a diagonal.
