If you like fish and seafood but have someone at home who doesn’t eat it, then you’re kind of f**ed, I would say. It’s not the end of the world, of course, but seafood becomes something that rarely appears on the table, if at all, right?! That’s why this delicious Smoked Salmon & Green Asparagus Quiche is my first recipe with fish here on the blog. Hallelujah. :P

Sometimes I think it’s a real shame that I can’t cook fish more often at home. I mean, I could, but someone else would be very unhappy, and we don’t want that. Hello, J.! If you’re reading this, I’m talking about YOU! :P
Anyway. For anyone who likes to eat/serve fish and other types of seafood, this quiche is incredibly delicious. Asparagus and smoked salmon are a perfect match. Add some wild garlic, and you have the perfect dish with incredible flavors! During wild garlic season, from March to May, I could theoretically add wild garlic to everything. It’s so delicious!

If you can still get some (the season is always very short), you should use it here or freeze it for later. That way, you can still enjoy it after the season is over. If you’re reading this outside of the season, you can, of course, use dried wild garlic to make the quiche. Fresh or frozen wild garlic is simply much better suited for this, though. ;)
We like to use short, thin green Thai asparagus for this quiche. You can often find it in Asian supermarkets and sometimes in larger supermarkets such as Rewe or Kaufland here in Germany. If you have trouble getting the veggie, you can also use regular green asparagus here. It is a little thicker and longer, but you can cut it to size, of course…
Speaking of green asparagus, if you enjoy cooking and baking with asparagus, you should check out our Quick & Easy Green Asparagus Puff Pastry Tart. That one works with regular green asparagus (or even thinner white asparagus). Delicious and ready in no time…
Fancy something else with salmon? How about Tacos with Salmon, Plums & Avocado? Not only does it sound exciting (at least to us), but it also tastes really exciting and delicious! Tested numerous times and confirmed as »outstanding« by several (impartial) individuals. ;)
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
1 package of puff pastry* (or homemade rough puff pastry)
10-15 small green Thai asparagus
some olive oil for frying
2-3 red spring onions, in rings
several leaves of wild garlic, cut into strips
3.5 oz. (100g) smoked salmon
3 medium eggs
3/4 cup (180g) sour cream
1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
3.5 oz. (100g) mozzarella cheese, diced finely
1.7 oz. (50g) Gruyère cheese, grated
salt, pepper
1 Packung Blätterteig aus der Kühlung* (oder 15-Minuten Blätterteig)
etwas Olivenöl zum Anbraten
10-15 kleine grüne Thaispargel
2-3 rote Frühlingszwiebeln, in Ringen
einige Blätter Bärlauch, in Streifen
100g Räucherlachs
3 Eier (M)
180g Schmand
60ml Sahne
100g Mozzarella, gewürfelt
50g Gruyère, geraspelt
Salz, Pfeffer




Notes
The recipe lists store-bought puff pastry or homemade dough as the base for the quiche. Both work great here.
We got a recipe for a quick version of puff pastry, also known as Rough Puff Pastry, which is ideal for this dish. It is up to you to decide which option you want to use. If you are in a hurry, both options are excellent, however, the store-bought version requires less work. That was probably obvious. ;P
If you don’t mind working a little more for the base of the quiche, you can, of course, also prepare some Classic Puff Pastry. There is also a recipe for that here on the blog.
BTW – if you don’t have a rectangular tart tin, you can also use a round one here. A round springform tin with a diameter of about 20-22cm should get you a similar result. You may need to cut the asparagus a little to fit the round pan, in order to distribute it evenly. ;)

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. Grease a rectangular tart tin with a loose bottom* (36x14cm) lightly. Roll out the dough (if necessary) slightly larger than the tart tin and press the dough to the bottom and sides to create a nice quiche base. Cut off excess dough and set it aside.
2. Bring water with some salt to a boil in a small pot. Add the asparagus (cut off the dry ends first) and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes. Remove the asparagus from the pot, rinse it with cold water, and let it cool down.
3. Wash and dry the spring onions and cut them into rings. Wash the wild garlic and cut it into thin strips. Heat up a small frying pan or pot, add some olive oil, and add the onions and wild garlic. Cook for some time until soft and glossy. Remove from the heat and let cool down.
4. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375˚F). For the filling, mix eggs, sour cream, heavy cream, diced mozzarella, and half of the Gruyère cheese in a bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Go easy on the salt, though, since the smoked salmon is already often a bit salty.
5. Place the salmon in one layer on the bottom of the tart tin, sprinkle the onion mixture on top, and pour the filling into the form to cover everything. Place the pre-cooked green asparagus on top and sprinkle everything with the remaining cheese. Bake the quiche for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top. If the quiche gets too dark, cover it with some aluminum foil and continue baking. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down for some time. Serve warm with some salad, for example.
1. Eine rechteckige Tarteform mit Hebeboden* (36x14cm) leicht einfetten. Den Teig (falls notwendig) etwas größer als die Form ausrollen und dann in die Form legen und am Rand und Boden festdrücken – überstehenden Teig entfernen. Zur Seite stellen.
2. Wasser in einem kleinen Topf zum Kochen bringen. Den Spargel darin für etwa 3-4 Minuten köcheln lassen – die trockenen Enden vorab ggf. abschneiden. Den Spargel herausnehmen und mit kaltem Wasser abschrecken und zur Seite legen.
3. Die Frühlingszwiebeln waschen, trocknen und in Ringe schneiden. Den Bärlauch waschen, trocknen und in Streifen schneiden. Eine kleine Pfanne erhitzen, etwas Olivenöl zugeben und die Zwiebeln und den Bärlauch darin glasig andünsten. Vom Herd nehmen und abkühlen lassen.
4. Den Ofen auf 190°C (375°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Für die Füllung die Eier mit Schmand, Sahne, gewürfeltem Mozzarella und der Hälfte des Gruyère vermischen. Mit Salz und Pfeffer abschmecken – beim Salz etwas sparsamer sein, weil der Räucherlachs ja schon ein wenig salziger ist.
5. Den Räucherlachs in einer Schicht auf den Teig in der Form legen, die Zwiebelmischung darauf verteilen und die Füllung darüber gießen. Den Spargel drauflegen und mit dem restlichen Käse bestreuen. Die Quiche für etwa 30-35 Minuten backen, bis die Füllung gestockt und der Käse schön gebräunt ist. Sollte die Oberfläche beim Backen zu dunkel werden, mit etwas Alufolie abdecken. Die fertige Quiche herausnehmen, etwas abkühlen und dann z.B. mit etwas Salat servieren.
