Enjoy a delightfully balanced dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet, accompanied by tender steamed asparagus and a modest serving of nutty brown rice. This dish is designed to satisfy your protein needs while keeping the calories in check, making it a wholesome, nutrient-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/3 cup cooked Brown Rice
5 spears Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the salmon fillet under cool water and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the salmon skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus by placing them in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 4-5 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
If the brown rice is not pre-cooked, prepare it according to package instructions or use leftover cooked rice. A 1/3 cup serving is ideal for this dish.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and brown rice. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the salmon for extra flavor and serve immediately.
