INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus and heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Trim the asparagus ends and toss them lightly with 1/2 tsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In the heated pan, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté minced garlic (from 2 cloves) for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if available) in the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes without moving to develop a nice sear.
Flip the salmon and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon during the last minute of cooking, letting the flavors meld.
Plate the salmon with the roasted asparagus on the side, and optionally garnish with lemon slices. Serve immediately.
