INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
6 Asparagus Spears
0.75 cup Cooked Lentils
0.25 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
0.5 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon is searing, trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender, then shock in ice water to maintain vibrant color.
In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils with nonfat Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Season the dressing lightly with salt and pepper and gently toss to coat the lentils.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the blanched asparagus and a generous serving of lentil salad. Drizzle any remaining yogurt dressing over the top if desired.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the harmony of flavors and textures.
