INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Salmon Fillet
1.5 cups cooked Brown Rice
1 pound Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
3 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is nearly cooked through.
In a separate pot, heat or reheat the pre-cooked brown rice if needed, or prepare it according to package instructions if using uncooked rice.
Trim the asparagus ends and cut them into 2-inch pieces. In another skillet, add a small drizzle of olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant, then toss in the asparagus. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Plate the salmon alongside a serving of brown rice and garlicky asparagus. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired and serve immediately.
