Grilled Salmon and Asparagus in Dill Olive Oil-Lemon Cream Sauce

Ingredients:
1 pound fresh wild salmon fillet(s)
1 bunch of thin, tender asparagus, woody stems discarded
1 pound dried pappardelle pasta cooked al dente
1 thinly sliced shallot
1 clove minced garlic 
1/2 cup crisp, dry white wine
2 cups heavy cream 
5 tablespoons Dill Olive Oil
3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill and/or flat leaf parsley to garnish 
Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions:
Rub the salmon and toss the asparagus spears with a mixture of 2 tablespoon of dill olive oil whisked with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season amply both the salmon and asparagus liberally with salt and fresh ground pepper. Grill or broil until just cooked, being careful to err on the side of under-cooking both the salmon and asparagus. The most important thing here is to sear the salmon and asparagus on the exterior. After grilling, cut the asparagus in to 2" pieces and break the salmon in to large meaty chunks and set aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the dried pasta based on the package directions. If using the fresh pasta recipe below, cook for two minutes and drain well. 

In a saute pan, heat two tablespoon dill olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and cook until tender. Add the garlic and saute for another minute being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the wine and lemon juice. Continue cooking until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the cream and the remaining dill olive oil. Stir until the mixture simmers and thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, add the asparagus to the pan with the sauce and cook for an additional two minutes, being careful not to make mushy. Add the salmon chunks and cook to warm through, being careful not to break the chunks up. Ladle over drained pasta and serve garnished with dill and or flat leaf parsley.
