INGREDIENTS
7.5 oz Salmon Fillet
3/4 cup cooked Green Lentils
1 cup Asparagus
2/3 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Rinse the asparagus, trim the ends, and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with lemon juice, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
While the asparagus roasts, prepare the lentil mash. In a small bowl, combine the cooked green lentils with nonfat Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mash lightly until you achieve a creamy consistency.
Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon, skin-side down first, for about 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked to your liking.
Plate the dish by placing a generous scoop of the lentil mash, topping it with the seared salmon, and arranging the roasted asparagus alongside. Garnish with a final squeeze of lemon and a light dusting of pepper before serving.
