I can only give this recipe two stars because it was pretty boring, and I do not really love smoked salmon wrapped around the asparagus. It is oily and difficult to eat, and though Giada used her fingers to eat it, at a party this as finger food would be fairly inconvenient. Smoked salmon does not wrap very well, and this is kind of unattractive. The salmon and asparagus do not add to each other in any way in this combination. I would have rather made a nice frittata with asparagus, smoked salmon, and cream cheese. Regardless of the minimal effort required to make these, I have no desire to make these again. I did add some squeezed lemon over the asparagus. Still boring and unappetizing in comparison with what could be done (also easily with asparagus and smoked salmon. I don't know what kind of kid is going to be convinced to eat asparagus because it is wrapped in smoked salmon. That is a pretty intense flavor for a kid . Now that prosciutto idea sounds great!

This looks promising for the large package of smoked salmon in my pantry. And for abcsallie--I learned in my Italian language classes that there are big regional differences in Italian language. Ms. De Laurentiis may sound phony to you, but what regional language is she using? Among the legitimate contenders: Sicilian; Florentine; Milanese; Roman; and the creole of the American-Italian emigrant community, which has adapted over time to U.S. regional cuisines. None are wrong, but each has partisan supporters. If you know the regional origins of your family, you can trace many of their preferred pronunciations regionally. The same goes for foods--sauce is not always the same for the goose as for the neighboring gander!

To those who used prosciutto instead of salmon, try wrapping the prosciutto BEFORE baking. It gets crispy and bacony and is fabulous!

Pretty difficult to wrap the salmon around the asparagus and they weren't a huge hit with the family.

I made this dish to bring to a neighbours potluck "Seafood Fest" and everyone loved it! With such a variety of seafood dishes to choose from, I was quite surprised to see my platter of asparagus and smoked salmon bundles almost emptied in no time!! I did add my own little touches to the dish to enhance the flavours some what...I mixed fresh lemon basil in with the olive oil, and squeezed some fresh lemon juice and sprinkled fresh chives over the bundles once they were on the platter. My hubby, who doesn't like to eat much fish, thoroughly enjoyed them, as well. His compliment was quite a surprise, although he thought the recipe could be improved with the addition of cheese...I might try to add some cream cheese in between the salmon and asparagus next time!! Definitely making this again..Yummy!!

Just finished my trial run with this for a party. We all loved it. The only change I made was a squeeze of lemon on the inside of the salmon before wrapping it. Added just a touch of acid and brightness.
