INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
3/4 cup Cooked Lentils
1 cup Steamed Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the fish is just cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, steam the asparagus until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Warm the pre-cooked lentils in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave briefly, then mash them lightly with a fork to create a chunky mash. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
Plate the dish by spreading a bed of lentil mash, placing the seared salmon fillet on top, and arranging the steamed asparagus on the side.
Finish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired and serve immediately.
