Asparagus is in season for just a little while and I like to make the most of it. This one-dish Salmon and Asparagus Frittata is an innovative way to incorporate asparagus into a satisfying healthy meal.
This Salmon and Asparagus recipe has so much going on nutritionally. It’s plenty filling with its hash browns base, loaded with protein and veggies, and the omega-3’s in the salmon are so good for you!
It tastes so good, too! The tarragon and Dijon mustard are subtle, but so pleasant. My kids initially thought this was a weird idea, but they both really liked it.
Everything gets cooked in the same pan so minimal mess, except the salmon which bakes on a sheet pan. Line it with foil and you’ll have little clean-up there.
Serve this with a green salad and you’ve got the perfect springtime supper!
