Enjoy a vibrant and balanced dinner that features a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with a creamy, zesty chickpea mash, and tender steamed asparagus. The dish is light yet satisfying, with flavors that harmonize beautifully for a clean meal that fuels your evenings.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
0.67 cup Canned Chickpeas
1 cup Steamed Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season generously with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the interior reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon is cooking, rinse the canned chickpeas and place them in a small saucepan with a crushed garlic clove. Warm them gently over low heat.
Transfer the warmed chickpeas to a bowl and mash lightly using a fork, retaining some texture. Stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus until tender yet still crisp, about 4-5 minutes, and then drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a generous serving of chickpea mash and the steamed asparagus. Serve immediately for a balanced and satisfying meal.
