Instructions
- Prepare the Asparagus: Peel the white asparagus and trim the bottoms. Snap the bottoms off the green asparagus. Marinate all asparagus in extra virgin olive oil, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a bit of nip sugar. Air fry at 200 degrees Celsius for 14 minutes. Once cooled, cut into small diagonal pieces and add fresh lemon zest.
- Make the Sourdough Croutons: Cut day-old sourdough bread into small cubes. Toss with extra virgin olive oil and salt. Air fry at 180 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes.
- Prepare the Lemon Mayo: Blend egg yolks, 1 teaspoon salt, lemon juice, and 1/2 tablespoon mustard until creamy. Gradually add neutral oil while blending until the mayo reaches the desired consistency.
- Assemble the Dish: Arrange the asparagus pieces on a plate or platter. Top with sourdough croutons, Nordic gold roe, dollops of lemon mayo, fresh ramsons, and dill. Adjust the quantity of ingredients based on whether you're serving as a starter or a larger salad.
