The Mash: Simmer potatoes and celery root until tender. Strain and mash, seasoning with salt, pepper, thyme and the remainder of garlic.

The Salmon: Dredge salmon in seasoned flour. Place asparagus spears atop the salmon. Wrap the salmon with the onions. Dredge again in cornmeal, deep fry until golden brown and finish in oven.
