Strain through a fine mesh sieve and use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
• Make the ricotta spread: Place ricotta in a medium bowl and beat with a fork to make smooth; season with salt and pepper. Stir in radishes, dill, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon basil oil; set aside.
• Make the tartines: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt water and add fava beans and cook for 1 minute. Drain and cool under cold running water. Peel fava beans and set aside. Add peas and asparagus to boiling water; cook for 1 minute and drain. Cool under cold running water, pat dry, and set aside.
• Spread each slice of toast with ricotta spread. Top with watercress and salmon. Top salmon with asparagus, peas, and fava beans. Drizzle with basil oil and season with a pinch of fleur de sel. Serve.

Steps:

• Place the toasted bread on a cutting board and overlap slices of avocado on each piece of bread, using a quarter to half an avocado for each, depending on the size of the avocado and the bread. Sprinkle the avocado with lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place one large slice of salmon on top, ribboning it to fit. Drizzle with a tablespoon of the sauce.
• Garnish with some red onion, sprinkle with the dill fronds, salt and pepper, and serve with extra sauce on the side.
• Whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey mustard, whole-grain mustard, ground mustard, sugar and vinegar in a medium bowl. Combine the olive and grapeseed oils in a small measuring cup.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, 7 minutes (or 2 minutes less than package instructions). Add asparagus and continue to cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add peas and continue to cook until cooked through, about 1 minute more. Drain pasta, asparagus, and peas together, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid.
• Transfer pasta and vegetables to a large bowl. Add butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 1/2 tsp. pepper, and remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Toss, adding reserved pasta cooking liquid bit by bit as needed, until a smooth sauce coats pasta (you might not need all the liquid).
• Divide pasta among bowls. Top with salmon, basil, and remaining 1/2 cup sour cream. Season with lots of pepper.
