INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Green Lentils
1 oz Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 cup Steamed Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 4 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the interior is just opaque and reaches your desired doneness. Transfer the salmon to a plate and let it rest.
In a small bowl, combine the cooked lentils with crumbled feta cheese, the remaining olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir gently and season with a pinch more salt and pepper to taste.
Steam the asparagus in a steamer or over a simmering pot of water for approximately 4-5 minutes, until tender yet crisp.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a generous portion of the lentil salad and neatly arrange the steamed asparagus. Optionally, drizzle a little extra lemon juice over the asparagus for enhanced brightness.
