Method

1
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the asparagus and simmer for 4-5 minutes until just tender, then drain into a colander and pass under a cold tap, then set aside.

Cut the smoked salmon into strips 3cm-4cm wide. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then whisk in the lemon zest and juice, the chilli and 3 tbsp of the parsley. Gently mix in the salmon and the asparagus spears.

Preheat a grill on high, and also heat a 22cm frying pan with a heatproof handle over a medium heat. Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan, tip in the frittata mixture, levelling the asparagus, and cook for 3 minutes.

Scatter the remaining parsley over the top, drizzle over another tbsp oil and place under the grill for 3-4 minutes until golden and puffy at the sides. The frittata can be eaten hot or at room temperature.
