Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Garlic Butter Asparagus
Savor a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet with a crisp exterior paired with tender garlic butter-infused asparagus. This dish is light, flavorful, and balanced, ideal for a wholesome dinner that satisfies both taste and fitness goals.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus Spears
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
1 Lemon Wedge
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) or presentation side down. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon is cooking, trim the tough ends of the asparagus. In a separate smaller pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the garlic butter, tossing to coat. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and just tender.
Plate the salmon alongside the asparagus. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon and asparagus for a fresh, zesty finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
