Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Salmon with Garlic Asparagus
Savor the delightful flavors of a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet encrusted with aromatic herbs, paired with tender garlic-infused asparagus. This dish delivers a balanced, satisfying experience with a crisp sear on the fish and a burst of savory, lemony freshness from the asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Dried Thyme
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and dried thyme on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if skin is present) and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and add the minced garlic to the pan, letting the garlic infuse the oil as the salmon finishes cooking; cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, in a separate pan, lightly sauté the asparagus with a pinch of salt, a few drops of olive oil, and minced garlic (if desired) for about 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Plate the salmon and arrange the asparagus on the side, then finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over both for added brightness.
