INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Zest of 1 Lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season it generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon fillet skin-side down. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
Flip the salmon and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through while remaining tender and moist.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus until just tender, about 4-5 minutes. You can do this in a steamer basket over boiling water or in the microwave with a splash of water.
Transfer the seared salmon to a serving plate, arrange the steamed asparagus alongside, and finish by sprinkling fresh lemon zest over the top for a bright, citrusy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this balanced dish that delivers a satisfying blend of lean protein, healthy fats, and crisp vegetables.
