This dish balances the rich, savory flavors of the ocean with the fresh, earthy taste of asparagus, all lightly accented by a hint of lemon and garlic for a nutritional powerhouse that delights the palate.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet (≈170g)
1 cup Asparagus (≈134g)
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (≈13.5g)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (≈15g)
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle half the olive oil over the asparagus, season lightly with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus is roasting, pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and a light sprinkle of minced garlic.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down. Press gently to ensure even contact with the pan.
Allow the salmon to sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the pan. Flip the fillet and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the salmon with fresh lemon juice.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
