Asparagus with poached eggs and smoked salmon

Asparagus has come down in price a lot in the last few years and is now much more widely available. Most of it is brought in from a long way away, but this means we can eat it over a much wider season and at an affordable price.

Smoked salmon used to be a luxury reserved for Christmas and special occasions, but like asparagus is now more affordable. It forms an important part of our Low Carb High Fat diet.

These two ingredients along with some poached eggs are all you need for a delicious weekend lunch.

Ingredients

1 bunch of asparagus, ends snapped off
1 small packet of smoked salmon
2 eggs
lemon juice
Salt and Pepper

Method

This could not be simpler. Get a griddle pan hot and drizzle a small amount of oil on. Place the asparagus along the lines of the griddle to fry. Turn them occasionally. While that is cooking, poach the eggs - they need to be reasonably fresh or they will just wash away in the simmering water. Delia has details here.
Plate it all up with a squeeze of lemon juice and some salt and pepper.

This is a classic LCHF meal. Plenty of fat from the salmon and no carbs except a little in the asparagus. It will leave you feeling nice and full and your insulin level will stay where it should :)
