3 Remove the eggs using a slotted spoon and allow to drain on kitchen paper.
4 Add the asparagus to the pan of water and blanch for one minute, then remove and allow to drain on kitchen paper.
5 Toast the sourdough, spread generously with butter and place 1-2 slices on each plate. Arrange the salmon and asparagus on top, squeeze over some lemon juice and add a generous crack of black pepper. Top each toast with a poached egg and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
