Asparagus takes readily to brief grilling, which adds a mild smoky undertone to the vegetable's nutty, sweet flavor. Combined with smoked salmon, grilled asparagus is a singular beginning to a Sunday brunch or a candlelit dinner on a patio or deck.

Ingredients
- For the tarragon mayonnaise: shopping list
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise shopping list
- 1/4 cup minced fresh tarragon shopping list
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice shopping list
- 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil shopping list
- 1 tsp. salt shopping list
- 1 1/2 lb. asparagus shopping list
- 1/2 lb. smoked salmon, thinly sliced shopping list
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges shopping list
How to make it
- To make the tarragon mayonnaise, place the mayonnaise in a bowl. Add the tarragon, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and stir to mix well. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
- Break off any tough stem ends from the asparagus, then trim the ragged ends with a knife. Bring a fry pan three-fourths full of water to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus and boil for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold running water until cool and drain again.
- Prepare a fire in a grill or preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Place the asparagus directly on the grill rack or in a grill basket on the rack, or place them in the grill pan. Cook, turning as needed, until lightly marked with grill lines and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- To serve, make a bed of the smoked salmon slices on 4 individual plates, dividing the salmon evenly. Arrange the grilled asparagus on top of the salmon along with some tarragon mayonnaise, dividing evenly. Garnish with the lemon wedges. Serves 4.
