INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon
2 Garlic Cloves
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Mince the garlic cloves and zest half of a lemon. Then, squeeze the lemon juice over the salmon.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is just opaque in the center.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus in a steamer or over a pot of simmering water for 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Plate the salmon and arrange the steamed asparagus alongside. Optionally, drizzle a few extra drops of lemon juice over the asparagus before serving.
