Instructions
- Cut the bottom ends off and coat asparagus in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Grill asparagus on aluminum foil over medium him approximately 9 minutes. (Turning occasionally.)
- Coat salmon with olive oil or melted butter. Season with salt and pepper.
- Grill salmon on aluminum foil over medium heat 3-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
- Cut up 10-15 cherry tomatoes. You can leave them raw, or roast them lightly. (I left mine raw.)
- Plate, and serve with Curried Butternut Squash Sauce.
- For the Butternut Squash Sauce
- Preheat oven to 425F Degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Cut squash in half. Clean out the seeds. Brush on 1 TBSP of butter. Salt & Pepper generously.
- On a rack in the center of the oven, roast squash for 50-60 minutes. When squash is done you should be able to insert a fork easily into the flesh.
- Set pan with squash aside on a cooling rack until cooled enough to spoon flesh out and discard the skins.
- In a large sauce pot saute onion and pear in remaining 1 TBSP of butter until soft. This takes approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Add water, chicken broth, and squash to the onion and pear.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes while breaking up any large pieces of squash.
- Add salt, pepper, paprika, nutmeg & curry powder to taste. (I went heavier on the salt and paprika, and did a pinch of curry powder and a dash of nutmeg.)
- Remove from heat & add heavy cream.
- Using a food processor or immersion blender, blend the soup mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Serve hot
