Enjoy a balanced dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with tender steamed asparagus and a creamy lentil mash. This dish offers a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, combining the rich, buttery taste of salmon with the earthy notes of lentils and the fresh crunch of asparagus, all lightly enhanced with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 cup cooked Green Lentils
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness. Squeeze lemon juice over the fillet during the last minute of cooking.
While the salmon is cooking, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-6 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Prepare the lentil mash by gently mashing the cooked lentils with a fork. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
Plate the dish by placing a generous serving of lentil mash, topping it with the seared salmon fillet, and arranging the steamed asparagus on the side.
Finish with a light drizzle of any remaining olive oil or an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
