INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 bundle (8 spears) Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F to roast the asparagus.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred, checking for desired crispness.
Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
Season the salmon on both sides with salt, pepper, and a light sprinkle of garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillet skin-side down. Cook without moving it for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the pan.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, adding lemon zest if desired.
Plate the crispy pan-seared salmon alongside the roasted lemon-herb asparagus and serve immediately.
