Seared Salmon with Lemon Herb Rice and Steamed Asparagus
Enjoy a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with fragrant lemon herb rice and tender steamed asparagus. This elegant dinner balances rich, buttery fish with a refreshing citrus twist and light, crisp vegetables that's both nutritious and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 ounces Salmon Fillet (184g)
1/4 cup cooked White Rice (45g)
1/2 cup steamed Asparagus (90g)
1/4 medium Lemon (zest and juice, approx 30g)
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the interior reaches desired doneness.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the lemon herb rice. In a small bowl, mix the cooked rice with lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Steam the asparagus until tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Plate the dish by placing the lemon herb rice as the base, arrange the seared salmon on top, and serve with a side of steamed asparagus. Garnish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
