INGREDIENTS
6.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
6 Asparagus Spears
1 cup Cauliflower
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil (about half teaspoon if reserved from extra, or use a light spray), and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, prepare the cauliflower. Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 8-10 minutes. In a small pan, lightly sauté 2 minced garlic cloves in 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil until fragrant.
Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a bowl, add the sautéed garlic, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, and blend or mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Season the 6.5-ounce salmon fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down (if it has skin) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 3 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and a generous serving of garlic mashed cauliflower. Squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the salmon for brightness, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutrient-packed dinner.
