Wash the asparagus and trim off the woody ends. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process, then drain thoroughly.
~5 min - 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water to create the glaze. Ensure the miso paste is fully dissolved.
~2 min - 3
Lay out slices of smoked salmon. Place 2-3 blanched asparagus spears on one end of each salmon slice and tightly roll them up.
~5 min - 4
Arrange the salmon-wrapped asparagus rolls on a serving platter. Gently brush the rolls with the miso glaze.
~3 min - 5
Serve immediately or chill for up to 30 minutes before serving.
Tips
- For best results, use high-quality smoked salmon that is thinly sliced. If your salmon slices are very large, you can cut them in half.
- This dish is best served fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the texture of the asparagus may soften.
