Seared Salmon with Brown Rice and Steamed Asparagus
Enjoy a perfectly balanced dinner featuring tender seared salmon, nutty brown rice, and crisp steamed asparagus. The salmon is seared to lock in flavor and moisture, while the brown rice provides a hearty base and the asparagus delivers a fresh crunch. A touch of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon elevate this dish to new levels of deliciousness.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Salmon Fillet
0.75 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Steamed Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Rinse the salmon fillet and pat it dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add half a teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and continue to sear for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the fish is just cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the brown rice according to the package instructions if not already cooked.
Steam the asparagus in a steamer or colander over boiling water for about 5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Drizzle the remaining teaspoon of olive oil over the steamed asparagus and squeeze a lemon wedge on top for a burst of freshness.
Plate the salmon alongside the brown rice and steamed asparagus. Garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired and serve warm.
