Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon Zest
Savor a beautifully seared piece of salmon, enhanced with a vibrant hint of lemon zest, and accompanied by tender roasted asparagus. This dish offers a balanced blend of protein and healthy fats with a citrus twist, ensuring a light yet satisfying dinner.
INGREDIENTS
9 oz Salmon Fillet (~256g)
1 cup Asparagus ( ~134g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon fillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving, allowing a golden crust to develop.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the salmon cooks, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the asparagus with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 8-10 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Once both components are done, plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and garnish with fresh lemon zest.
Serve immediately and enjoy your light, protein-packed dinner.
