Pan-Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Enjoy a light yet satisfying dinner featuring a perfectly pan-seared salmon fillet paired with crisp steamed asparagus and a serving of nutty brown rice. The dish is enhanced with a touch of extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon to brighten the natural flavors.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
6 spears Asparagus
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by rinsing the salmon fillet and patting it dry with a paper towel. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus. Bring a small pot of water to a simmer, place the asparagus in a steamer basket, cover, and steam for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Reheat the cooked brown rice if needed, or if using freshly cooked rice, ensure it’s ready to serve.
Finish the salmon by drizzling with fresh lemon juice. Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and brown rice for a balanced, nutritious dinner.
