Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Trim the asparagus and toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower florets until soft, about 8-10 minutes.
Once steamed, transfer the cauliflower to a bowl and mash with a fork. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor.
Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a finely minced garlic clove.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon skin-side down first, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and cauliflower mash.
Finish the dish with a drizzle of lemon juice and a light drizzle (if desired) of extra olive oil for brightness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, clean-eating dinner.
