INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
100 grams Asparagus
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Zest of 1 Lemon
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the 6 oz salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season evenly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just opaque in the center.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus by placing 100 grams of trimmed asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water, and cover. Steam for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet still crisp.
Once cooked, transfer the salmon to a plate, and sprinkle freshly grated lemon zest over the top.
Serve the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus for a light, balanced dinner.
