INGREDIENTS
6 ounce Salmon Fillet
2/3 cup Cooked Lentils
7 Asparagus Spears
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 Lemon Wedge
Salt and Pepper to taste
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with additional olive oil if desired (keeping portions minimal) and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until tender and slightly crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a light spray of olive oil. Once hot, add the salmon fillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and add the minced garlic to the pan, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and garlic fragrant.
Warm the cooked lentils gently in a small saucepan over low heat if needed. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plate the dish by arranging the roasted asparagus and a serving of lentils. Place the seared salmon fillet on top or beside, and garnish with a lemon wedge for an added fresh zest.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed dinner.
