Directions

Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice in a small bowl to blend. Stir in chopped eggs, parsley, tarragon and shallot. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Can be made up to 1 day ahead - cover and refrigerate.

Cut off bottom 1 inch from each asparagus spear. Using vegetable peeler, peel each spear from about 2 inches below tip to base to remove stringy outer layer. Bring large saucepan of salted water to boil. Squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon into boiling water, add lemon half, butter and sugar. Add asparagus and cook until just tender when pierced with knife or skewer, 5-8 minutes, depending on thickness and color. Using slotted spoon or tongs, remove asparagus from saucepan and transfer to platter to cool. Can be made up to 1 day ahead; cover and chill.

Just before serving, add three tablespoons olive oil to sauce and stir without over-mixing (sauce should have coarse texture and olive oil should be slightly separated) Arrange asparagus decoratively on platter or individual plates. Drape salmon slices over. Spoon a few tablespoons of sauce over; drizzle lightly with olive oil. Serve, passing remaining sauce alongside.
