Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon Zest
Enjoy a bright and balanced dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet accented with fresh lemon zest, paired with tender steamed asparagus lightly dressed in extra virgin olive oil. This dish is a delightful blend of savory and citrus notes that uplift the natural flavors while keeping the meal light and nutrient-dense.
INGREDIENTS
7.5 oz Salmon Fillet (approx. 213g)
1 cup Steamed Asparagus (approx. 134g)
3 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (approx. 15g)
Zest of 1 Lemon
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for approximately 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the center is just opaque yet still moist.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus until tender but still bright green, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and plate alongside the steamed asparagus.
Finish by sprinkling fresh lemon zest over the salmon and asparagus for a burst of citrus flavor before serving.
