Enjoy a beautifully balanced plate featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet accompanied by a silky lentil mash and crisp steamed asparagus. This dish combines vibrant flavors with a clean presentation, ideal for a nutritious dinner that's both satisfying and elegant.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Lentils
1 cup Asparagus (approx. 6 spears)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, sear the salmon skin-side down for about 3-4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice and a tiny pinch of salt after steaming.
Warm the cooked lentils in a small pot over low heat, mashing lightly with a fork to create a coarse mash. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the lentil mash as a base, arrange the steamed asparagus neatly, and top with the seared salmon. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced meal.
