INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Dill
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press lightly to ensure even contact. Sear for about 4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked to your desired doneness. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle fresh dill over the salmon during the last minute of cooking.
While the salmon is cooking, steam the asparagus until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Prepare the lentil pilaf by warming the cooked lentils in a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. If available, stir in a little fresh dill to complement the salmon.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a serving of lentil pilaf. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, balanced flavors.
