Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon Zest
Enjoy a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with lightly steamed asparagus and a zing of fresh lemon zest. This dish offers a delicate balance of rich flavors and a bright finish, making it a satisfying and healthy dinner option.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Zest of 1 Lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil shimmers, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if it has skin) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus by placing it in a steaming basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
Remove the salmon and asparagus from heat, then gently toss the asparagus with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Finish the salmon by sprinkling lemon zest evenly over the top. Serve the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus.
