Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Cauliflower Mash
Enjoy a perfectly seared salmon paired with vibrant roasted asparagus and a creamy cauliflower mash boosted with a touch of low-fat cottage cheese. The dish offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures, from the crisp-skinned salmon to the velvety mash, finished with a hint of lemon and extra olive oil for a subtle richness.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 cup Cauliflower
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil (for asparagus)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for mash)
Seasonings (Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Lemon Juice)
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy, then lower the heat and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the top at the end.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with a drizzle of 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
For the cauliflower mash, steam or boil the cauliflower florets until soft (about 8-10 minutes). Drain well and transfer to a bowl. Add the low-fat cottage cheese and 1 tsp olive oil, then blend or mash until you achieve a creamy consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a serving of roasted asparagus and a generous scoop of the cauliflower mash. Enjoy your well-balanced, nutrient-dense dinner!
