INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Steamed Asparagus
1 cup Cooked Lentils
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 clove Minced Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 Lemon Wedge for garnish
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and add the minced garlic. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until desired doneness is reached.
While the salmon is cooking, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
For the lentil mash, warm the cooked lentils in a saucepan. Using a fork or immersion blender, gently mash the lentils to your preferred consistency. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Plate the lentil mash, top with the seared salmon fillet, and arrange the steamed asparagus on the side. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the salmon just before serving to enhance the flavors.
