Seared Salmon with Herbed Lentils and Asparagus
Enjoy this beautifully balanced dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with flavorful herbed lentils and tender asparagus. The dish offers a delightful combination of textures and a subtle blend of fresh herbs that elevate the natural taste of each ingredient.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Cooked Lentils
8 Asparagus Spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel, then season with salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the olive oil. Sear the salmon fillet for about 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cooked lentils, chopped fresh parsley, and thyme to the skillet with garlic. Stir gently to heat through and allow the herbs to infuse the lentils, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, lightly steam or sauté the asparagus spears until they are tender-crisp, around 4-5 minutes.
To serve, spoon a bed of herbed lentils onto the plate, top with the seared salmon, and arrange the asparagus spears on the side. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
