Wash the asparagus, peel the bottom third, and cut the stalks diagonally into approximately 4-centimeter-long pieces.

Add half of the chives, carefully fold in the asparagus, and let it marinate for 20 minutes. Mix the cream with the cream cheese, season with a little lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and stir in the rest of the chives. Spread the salmon slices out and spread the cheese mixture on top. Fold the salmon into a bag at the top and tie each one with a chive stalk. Arrange the lettuce leaves on a large plate, arrange the asparagus on top, and place the salmon pouches on top.
