INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus in a steamer or a covered pan with a little water for about 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the cooked lentils with the minced garlic, then stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Lightly mash the lentils with a fork to achieve a rough, creamy consistency.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus, and add a dollop of the warm lentil mash. Drizzle any remaining lemon garlic mixture over the lentils if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed dinner.
