Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon Garlic Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a perfectly seared salmon fillet with a crispy finish paired with bright, zesty lemon garlic roasted asparagus. This dish offers a delightful balance of rich, savory flavors and tangy citrus, making it a satisfying meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 Lemon Wedges
1 Garlic Clove
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the asparagus.
Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillet, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until it develops a crispy texture. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. The salmon will finish cooking in the oven if needed.
While the salmon is searing, trim the woody ends of the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil, add the minced garlic (or thinly sliced clove), and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until tender yet slightly crisp. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the asparagus halfway through roasting.
Once the salmon has a nice crispy exterior and remains tender inside, remove it from the skillet. Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and garnish the salmon with a squeeze of lemon from the extra lemon wedges.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced, vibrant dish.
