INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Atlantic Salmon Fillet (184g)
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil (7g)
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) in the hot skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Gently flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and rest briefly. Toss the steamed asparagus with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Grate fresh lemon zest over the salmon and asparagus just before serving to add a citrusy brightness.
Plate the salmon alongside the asparagus and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner.
