Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lentil Mash
Enjoy a vibrant plate of pan-seared salmon paired with tender steamed asparagus and a creamy lentil mash. This dish harmonizes the rich, savory flavor of salmon with the earthy tones of lentils and the fresh crunch of asparagus, creating a balanced and nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half the olive oil. Once hot, sear the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
In a small saucepan, warm the cooked lentils with the minced garlic and remaining olive oil over low heat. Use a fork to lightly mash the lentils for a smooth, mash-like consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and lentil mash. Serve warm and enjoy!
