Salt the salmon fillets with sea salt crystals and roll them up with the asparagus inside (like spirals).
Steam the salmon and asparagus spirals in a "bed" of fresh basil for 15 min.
Meanwhile, prepare the Cottage cheese and cherry sauce, chopping some leafs of fresh basil and cutting the cherries (removing the pits) into small pieces.
In a bowl, mix the Cottage cheese with olive oil and honey, and then add the chopped fresh basil and pieces of cherries.
