Directions

1 Heat gas or charcoal grill.
2 In small bowl, mix all Maple-Dijon Dressing ingredients with wire whisk.
3 Cut salmon crosswise into 4 pieces. Brush salmon with 1 tablespoon of the dressing. In large bowl, toss asparagus and 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Place asparagus in grill basket (grill “wok”).
4 When grill is heated, place asparagus and salmon, skin side down, on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook asparagus 7 to 10 minutes and salmon 10 to 15 minutes, shaking grill basket or turning asparagus occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender and salmon flakes easily with fork.
5 Slide pancake turner between salmon and skin to remove each piece from skin. On 4 plates, divide salad greens, carrots and eggs. Top with salmon and asparagus. Sprinkle with pepper. Serve with remaining dressing.

When I said "maple-dijon dressing," my family teased me, but, HAHA, they had to take it back. We loved, loved, loved this dressing and using it as a glaze for the salmon!!!

Maple syrup--mine was real--glazes salmon and makes quite delicious. I mixed spinach with my baby greens. Another time I might skip the carrots and sprinkle on some blueberries. See, I'm already planning the next time...
