INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
8 Spears Fresh Asparagus
1 cup Cooked Green Lentils
1/2 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Olive Oil
Lemon Zest & Juice of 1 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a lightly crushed garlic clove for infusion.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus spears in a steamer or covered pan with a splash of water for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
In a bowl, combine the cooked green lentils with the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then mash lightly with a fork to create a chunky mash.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus, and add a generous serving of lentil mash. Garnish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
