INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
2 ounces dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the whole wheat pasta. Cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, trim the asparagus and steam until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
In a small pan, lightly sauté the minced garlic with a splash of olive oil until fragrant. Stir in chopped fresh parsley and basil to create a garlic herb sauce.
Toss the cooked pasta with the garlic herb sauce, adding a pinch of salt and pepper.
Plate the garlic herb pasta, top with the seared salmon fillet, and arrange the steamed asparagus on the side.
Finish with a drizzle of any remaining garlic herb sauce over the salmon and pasta, then serve immediately.
