INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon wedge
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Drizzle the salmon with half a teaspoon of olive oil and place it skin-side down in the hot skillet.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on the first side until it develops a crispy crust, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the flesh is just opaque in the center.
While the salmon cooks, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the asparagus. Steam for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions if not pre-cooked, or simply reheat 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and brown rice.
Squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over the salmon just before serving for a bright finish.
