INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 cup Cauliflower
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half a tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic, allowing the garlic to infuse the oil for about 30 seconds.
Place the salmon fillet in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
For the cauliflower mash, steam the cauliflower florets (or use raw florets after lightly sautéing with a bit of water) for 8-10 minutes until soft. Transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender along with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper; blend until smooth.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a generous scoop of cauliflower mash. Garnish with a sprinkle of black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
