INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
2.5 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Zest of 1 Lemon
Pinch of Sea Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season evenly with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and sprinkle fresh lemon zest over the top.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2.5 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for 3-4 minutes until a crisp golden crust forms. Flip the fillet carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, trim the woody ends of the asparagus. Steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Plate the seared salmon and arrange the steamed asparagus beside it. Optionally, finish with an extra light drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added brightness.
Serve immediately and enjoy a nourishing, well-balanced dinner.
