Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon-Garlic Asparagus
Enjoy a vibrant plate of crispy, pan-seared salmon paired with tender lemon-garlic asparagus. The salmon is seasoned and seared to perfection for a delightful crunch on the outside while remaining moist and flaky inside. Enhanced with a zesty lemon-garlic drizzle and finished with a hint of olive oil, this dish promises a balanced, savory, and refreshing dining experience.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) in the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the exterior is crispy.
Flip the salmon and add minced garlic, allowing it to gently infuse the oil for about 1 minute.
Squeeze half the lemon’s juice (approximately 1 tablespoon) over the salmon as it finishes cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the asparagus. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and become tender yet crisp. Drizzle a little extra lemon juice if desired.
Plate the salmon alongside the asparagus, and if desired, garnish with a final squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
