INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
6 Asparagus Spears (~100g)
1 cup Cauliflower
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the asparagus.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the asparagus spears. Drizzle with 1 tsp of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, prepare the cauliflower mash by steaming the cauliflower florets until very tender (about 8-10 minutes).
In a small saucepan, gently warm the remaining 1 tsp olive oil with the minced garlic to infuse the flavor (avoid browning the garlic).
Once the cauliflower is tender, transfer to a bowl and blend or mash with the garlic-infused oil. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
For the salmon, pat dry the fillet and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the exterior is nicely browned and the interior reaches your desired doneness.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of garlic cauliflower mash. Drizzle a little extra lemon juice over the salmon if desired, and serve immediately.
