Savor a beautifully seared salmon fillet paired with tender steamed asparagus and a hearty lentil mash. This dish marries the rich flavors of the salmon with the earthy, creamy lentils, punctuated by a delicate lemon and garlic finish, making for a satisfying and nutritious dinner that delights both the palate and the body.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 cup Cooked Lentils
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon wedge
1 Garlic clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by rinsing the salmon fillet and patting it dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam them in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes, or until tender yet crisp.
In a small saucepan, warm the cooked lentils over low heat. Add a minced garlic clove and drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then stir well to incorporate the flavors. If desired, gently mash the lentils with the back of a spoon to achieve a creamy consistency.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of steamed asparagus and a generous scoop of the lentil mash. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon for a burst of brightness and serve immediately.
