INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Green Lentils
1 cup Asparagus
1/4 Lemon
2 sprays Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the asparagus and prepare a non-stick baking sheet with a couple of sprays of olive oil.
Rinse the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Spread the spears on the baking sheet, lightly spray with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is just opaque and has a nice crust.
Gently warm the pre-cooked green lentils in a small saucepan over low heat; you can add a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of pepper.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of warm lentils. Garnish with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice and additional black pepper if desired.
