INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 Lemon
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil shimmers, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Gently flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the fish is just opaque in the center. Adjust time based on thickness.
While the salmon cooks, rinse asparagus and trim the woody ends.
Steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over simmering water for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Prepare brown rice according to package instructions, or if pre-cooked, reheat to serving temperature.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and brown rice, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon over the top for brightness.
