Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Enjoy a perfectly seared salmon fillet accompanied by tender steamed asparagus and fluffy brown rice. This dish offers a delightful balance of savory seafood with the nutty flavors of rice and the fresh, crisp texture of asparagus for a clean and nourishing meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.75 cup Cooked Brown Rice
6 Asparagus Spears
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
PREPARATION
Rinse the salmon fillet under cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) in the skillet.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the exterior is golden and the interior is just opaque.
While the salmon is cooking, steam the asparagus. Bring a small amount of water to a simmer in a saucepan fitted with a steamer basket, add the asparagus spears, cover, and steam for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Heat the pre-cooked brown rice in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop until warmed through. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating.
To serve, place the warm brown rice on a plate, top with the seared salmon, and arrange the steamed asparagus on the side. Optionally, drizzle a tiny bit more olive oil or squeeze fresh lemon for added brightness.
