Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Delight in perfectly seared salmon paired with tender steamed asparagus and a bed of nutty brown rice. This balanced dish features a crisp exterior and a moist, flavorful center in the salmon, complemented by the fresh snap of asparagus and a subtle crunch from toasted almonds.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
100 g Asparagus
1/3 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 tbsp Sliced Almonds
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, 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 until the center reaches your desired doneness.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes or until tender-crisp.
Prepare the brown rice if not already cooked. For a quick heat-through, combine the rice with a splash of water and warm it in a microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Flavour the cooked rice with a drizzle of lemon juice and a pinch of salt, then transfer to the serving plate.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus, sprinkle the sliced almonds over the rice for a subtle crunch, and finish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
