Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Enjoy a perfectly seared 8-ounce salmon fillet paired with tender steamed asparagus and a side of nutty brown rice. This dish balances rich, buttery salmon with the fresh, crisp bite of asparagus and the wholesome complexity of brown rice, making it an ideal meal for a nourishing dinner.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the salmon on both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil shimmers, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Gently flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the asparagus by trimming the woody ends.
Steam the asparagus in a steamer or a saucepan with a small amount of water for about 4-5 minutes, until they are tender yet crisp.
Simultaneously, reheat or cook the brown rice according to package instructions until warm and fluffy.
Drizzle lemon juice over the seared salmon for an added bright flavor.
Plate the salmon fillet alongside the steamed asparagus and a serving of brown rice, and serve immediately.
