INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by rinsing the salmon fillet and patting it dry with a paper towel. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon 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, or until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and steam them for about 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
In a separate small pot, heat the pre-cooked brown rice until warmed through, or if uncooked, follow package instructions to prepare 1/2 cup of cooked rice.
Once cooked, drizzle the salmon with lemon juice for a fresh, tangy finish.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and brown rice, and serve immediately.
