INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Cooked Lentils
1 cup Asparagus
1/4 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/8 medium Red Onion
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the salmon fillet under cool water and pat dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the lentil salad. In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils, diced red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh parsley.
Drizzle the lentil mixture with lemon juice, and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to mix all the flavors.
Steam the asparagus either in a steamer basket over simmering water or in the microwave with a splash of water for about 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Plate the seared salmon fillet alongside a generous serving of the lentil salad with the steamed asparagus on the side. Optionally, garnish with an extra sprinkle of parsley or a squeeze of lemon.
