Enjoy a delightful, nutrient-packed dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with tender steamed asparagus and a creamy garlic mashed potato side. This dish balances rich, savory flavors with the subtle freshness of asparagus and the comforting creaminess of mashed potatoes, creating a well-rounded and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
6 Asparagus Spears
1 medium Potato (about 150g)
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1/2 tablespoon Butter
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the garlic mashed potatoes. Peel (if desired) and cube the medium potato. Boil the cubes in lightly salted water until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes boil, trim the woody ends of the asparagus and steam them until just tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the garlic (minced or pressed), 1/4 cup of skim milk, and 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season both sides of the 6-ounce salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
Sear the salmon fillet skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a generous serving of garlic mashed potatoes. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner.
