Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 10-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook salmon in the hot butter until fish flakes with a fork, about 5 minutes per side. Separate fillets into pieces; stir asparagus, onion, and garlic into skillet with salmon. Cook and stir until liquid clinging to asparagus pieces has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
Mix pepper, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup Asiago cheese into salmon mixture.
Transfer filling into prepared pie dish.
Whisk eggs, half-and-half, and salt in a bowl; pour egg mixture over filling in pie dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; sprinkle quiche with 1/2 cup Asiago cheese and Cheddar cheese. Continue baking until quiche is set, a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean, and cheese topping is melted, 35 to 40 minutes.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. You could try Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 20 dollars per bottle.
Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay
The 2014 Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, is typical for the variety with aromas of apples, white peaches and citrus. With longer time in the glass nuanced aromas of nutmeg, slight toast and vanilla come to play along with suggestion of pineapple and ripe Meyer lemons. The mouth feel is crisp and restrained with clear minerality and purity of fruit. Rich, elegant and beautifully balanced.
