INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Mince the garlic clove and zest the half lemon; then juice the lemon and combine the lemon juice, zest, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes.
Flip the salmon and pour the lemon garlic mixture over it. Cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and has a golden crust.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of lemon garlic flavor.
