This tasty brunch or breakfast recipe features inflammation-busting salmon and asparagus. Paired with eggs and dressed with sweet cherry tomatoes, it’s the perfect way to start the day!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons grass-fed butter or ghee, divided
• 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, preferably organic
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 large eggs, preferably pastured or organic
• 14 asparagus spears, preferably organic
• 3 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
• Sea salt and pepper, to taste
• Chopped chives

Directions:

1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter or ghee in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Gently mash the tomatoes using the back of a wooden spoon. Add the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Cover and set aside.

4. To assemble, place 7 asparagus spears on each plate. Top with the tomato mixture, salmon, and eggs. Sprinkle with black pepper and chives. Serve immediately.
