Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon Zest
Enjoy the delicate flavors of a perfectly seared salmon fillet accompanied by crisp, steamed asparagus and a bright burst of lemon zest. This light yet satisfying pescatarian dish combines succulent fish with a simple medley of seasonal veggies and citrus accents for a meal that's as nutritious as it is flavorful.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Lemon
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) in the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus until tender yet still crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Using a microplane or fine grater, zest a quarter of a lemon over both the salmon and asparagus to add a burst of fresh citrus flavor.
Plate the salmon with a side of steamed asparagus and serve immediately.
