Savor the bright flavors of lemon and garlic paired with a perfectly pan-seared salmon that delivers a delicate, crispy finish, complemented by tender roasted asparagus. A delightful dish that balances rich, fresh fish with vibrant, herbaceous notes, perfect for a healthful, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and toss with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus roasts, pat dry the salmon fillet with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillet, skin side down if applicable, and let it sear for about 3-4 minutes.
Flip the salmon and add minced garlic to the pan. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the salmon as it cooks for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the fish is cooked through and illuminated with flavor.
Once done, remove the salmon and arrange it on a plate alongside the roasted asparagus.
Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the salmon, garnish with a lemon slice if desired, and serve immediately.
