Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Sweet Potato Mash
Enjoy a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with tender steamed asparagus and a creamy sweet potato mash. This plate offers a delightful balance of richness from the salmon and the natural sweetness of the potato, accented with a hint of olive oil and lemon for a burst of freshness.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 medium Sweet Potato
6 Asparagus Spears
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil once hot.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the fish reaches your desired doneness.
Meanwhile, peel and chop the sweet potato into small cubes. Steam the sweet potato cubes until very tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Transfer the steamed sweet potato to a bowl and mash until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Add a small drizzle of olive oil if desired for a richer texture.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Steam the asparagus for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a generous serving of sweet potato mash and neatly arrange the steamed asparagus. Garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired, then serve immediately.
