Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
A vibrant dinner plate featuring perfectly seared salmon accompanied by tender steamed asparagus and a side of nutty brown rice. This meal is both flavorful and balanced with a delightful mix of textures and a hint of lemon brightness to elevate the dish.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by rinsing the salmon fillet and patting it dry with a paper towel. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from pan and drizzle with lemon juice.
Meanwhile, prepare the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. Steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
If not already cooked, warm the brown rice following package directions, or reheat if pre-cooked.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a serving of brown rice. Optionally, garnish with a squeeze of extra lemon.
Enjoy a nutritious, balanced dinner that perfectly meets your protein and calorie goals.
