Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Wild Rice
Enjoy a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with tender steamed asparagus and a side of nutty wild rice. This dish offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures, highlighted by a gentle olive oil drizzle that enhances the natural taste of the salmon while keeping the meal light and energizing.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Wild Rice (cooked)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon fillet in the skillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 3-4 minutes until a crispy crust forms. Flip the fillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the wild rice according to the package instructions. Typically, wild rice takes about 40-45 minutes to cook; if using pre-cooked wild rice, simply warm it up.
Steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Plate the seared salmon with a side of wild rice and steamed asparagus. Optionally, add a squeeze of lemon on the asparagus or salmon for extra brightness.
