INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
3 tbsp Cilantro-Lime Rice (cooked)
1 medium Zucchini
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil it with olive oil.
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for 4-5 minutes until the exterior is nicely browned. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Meanwhile, toss the cooked cilantro-lime rice with lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro in a small bowl.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips. Lightly brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill the zucchini on a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until tender and grill marks appear.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of the cilantro-lime rice and the grilled zucchini.
Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of citrusy, herby, and savory flavors.
