INGREDIENTS
6.2 oz Salmon Fillet (~175g)
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice (~100g)
1 cup Steamed Asparagus (~134g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the salmon fillet under cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper, and drizzle with lemon juice.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a crispy crust forms and the interior reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon is searing, steam the asparagus until tender, approximately 4-5 minutes. Season lightly with salt, if desired.
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions. Typically, this involves simmering 1/2 cup cooked rice in water until heated through, about 10 minutes if using pre-cooked rice.
Plate the dish by placing the seared salmon on one side, arranging the steamed asparagus alongside, and serving the brown rice as a hearty accompaniment. Squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the salmon before serving for added brightness.
