Indulge in a beautifully balanced dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with tender steamed asparagus and a zesty lemon herb rice. The dish offers a fresh, vibrant flavor profile with hints of citrus and herbs, making each bite both satisfying and nourishing.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
8 Asparagus Spears
1/2 cup Cooked White Rice
1 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Dill)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the salmon fillet lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a touch of olive oil if desired. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crisp crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus spears until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. You may also blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes if preferred.
In a small saucepan, warm the pre-cooked white rice. Stir in the lemon juice, nonfat Greek yogurt, and finely chopped fresh herbs (parsley and dill) to create a light lemon herb rice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Plate the salmon alongside the asparagus and a serving of lemon herb rice. Garnish with a drizzle of any extra lemon juice or a sprinkle of herbs if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced flavors and textures of this wholesome dinner.
