INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Fresh Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon Wedge
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh parsley and thyme. Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil then press the herb mixture onto the flesh side to create a crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon herb-side down in the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
In the meantime, steam the asparagus until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the salmon with the steamed asparagus and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top for brightness.
