Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lentil Mash
Enjoy a balanced plate featuring a perfectly seared salmon paired with tender steamed asparagus and a creamy, garlicky lentil mash. This dish offers a delicious combination of textures and flavors that satisfy both your palate and your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup cooked Lentils
1 cup Asparagus
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if skin is on) and sear for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
While the salmon is searing, steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, warm the cooked lentils gently. Add a minced garlic clove, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Use a fork or potato masher to slightly mash the lentils, creating a rustic mash with some texture remaining.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of lentil mash and steamed asparagus. Drizzle any remaining lemon garlic lentil mash over the salmon for added flavor if desired.
