Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Lentil Mash
Enjoy a vibrant plate featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with a comforting lentil mash and tender steamed asparagus. This meal strikes a balance between lean protein and satisfying plant-based carbs, accented with a drizzle of olive oil for a touch of richness.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
0.75 cup Cooked Lentils
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a minimal spray of oil if desired.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if it has skin) in the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the center remains slightly translucent for maximum flavor and moisture.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus in a steamer or over a pan of boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the pre-cooked lentils over low heat, lightly mashing them with a fork to create a rustic mash.
Drizzle the steamed asparagus with 1 tsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of lentil mash and arrange the asparagus on the side. Serve immediately.
