INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
8 Asparagus spears
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 Lemon
1 Garlic clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the juice of 1/4 lemon, minced garlic, and a teaspoon of olive oil.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for about 3-4 minutes.
Flip the salmon and drizzle half of the lemon-garlic mixture over the top. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus spears with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 10 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Heat the cooked brown rice gently in a small saucepan or microwave and season lightly.
Plate the salmon with a serving of brown rice and roasted asparagus. Drizzle the remaining lemon-garlic sauce over the salmon, and garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
