Enjoy a beautifully seared salmon fillet paired with tender steamed asparagus and a hearty, flavorful lentil mash. This dish seamlessly balances rich, flaky salmon with the earthy texture of lentils and the vibrant crunch of asparagus, making it a well-rounded dinner that both nourishes and delights.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 cup Cooked Lentils
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a light drizzle of olive oil.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the flesh is opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus until tender yet crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, warm the cooked lentils over low heat. Stir in a teaspoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then gently mash with a fork until the desired consistency is reached.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a generous serving of lentil mash. Garnish with a squeeze of additional lemon juice if desired, and serve immediately.
