Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Lentil Mash
Enjoy a beautifully balanced dinner where tender, perfectly seared salmon rests atop a creamy lentil mash, accompanied by crisp steamed asparagus. The dish combines the rich, savory flavors of lightly seasoned salmon with the earthy taste of lentils and the fresh, vibrant notes of asparagus, creating a satisfying meal that's both nutrient-dense and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
0.5 cup dry Green Lentils
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the green lentils thoroughly and add them to a small pot with water. Bring to a boil and then simmer until tender (approximately 20-25 minutes). Once cooked, drain any excess water.
While the lentils are cooking, steam the asparagus lightly until just tender yet still crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the cooked lentils to create a creamy texture. Season the mash with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
To serve, place a generous portion of the lentil mash on the plate, top with the seared salmon fillet, and arrange the steamed asparagus on the side. Enjoy your balanced and flavorful dinner!
