This dish balances delicate flavors with the rich umami of salmon, enhanced by a touch of seasoning, all while fitting neatly into your targeted protein and calorie range.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup steamed Asparagus Spears
1/3 cup cooked Brown Rice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper (or your favorite seasoning blend).
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and has a golden crust.
While the salmon is cooking, steam the asparagus until tender but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Alternatively, you can blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and then shock in ice water.
Warm the pre-cooked brown rice in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through. If you’re cooking from scratch, prepare it accordingly ensuring the portion remains around 1/3 cup cooked.
Plate the seared salmon, arrange the steamed asparagus beside it, and spoon the brown rice on the side. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed dinner.
