Broiled Salmon And Asparagus With Crème Fraîche

1. 1

   Preheat broiler with oven rack about 4 in. from heat.

2. 2

   Snap off bottom of an asparagus spear to see where it breaks easily. Line up remaining spears and slice off bottoms at the same spot. Put trimmed asparagus on a 12- by 17-in. rimmed baking sheet, sprinkle with oil and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Arrange asparagus in a single layer on baking sheet.

3. 3

   Season salmon with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper, then set on top of asparagus in a single layer.

4. 4

   Broil salmon and asparagus until salmon is no longer translucent but still moist in center and asparagus is browned in spots, 8 to 12 minutes. If asparagus isn't done, lift salmon to a platter and return asparagus to oven for a few more minutes.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, whisk together creme fraiche, mustard, chives, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.

6. 6

   Serve salmon and asparagus with creme fraiche sauce.
