Keto Lemon Asparagus Wrapped in Salmon
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper. Trim the tough ends from the asparagus and discard. Arrange the asparagus spears across the lined oven tray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle over a tablespoon of the lemon juice and olive oil. Mix well to coat. Transfer the asparagus to the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes. The asparagus should be tender and cooked through.
Step 2
Remove the asparagus from the oven. Slice the salmon into 5 even-sized portions. Take a piece of salmon and wrap it tightly around two of the asparagus spears towards the base. Repeat with the remaining salmon and asparagus, so you have 5 salmon-wrapped bundles.
Step 3
Add the mayonnaise to a small bowl. Add the remaining lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk together until smooth. Serve the mayonnaise alongside the wrapped asparagus for dipping.
