Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Lentil Mash
Enjoy a beautifully balanced dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with fresh steamed asparagus and a hearty lentil mash. The dish offers a wonderful blend of flavors and textures, with the rich, tender salmon contrasting beautifully against the light crunch of asparagus and the creamy, savory lentils.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Green Asparagus
1 cup Cooked Lentils
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet still crisp.
In a small saucepan, warm the cooked lentils with a crushed garlic clove, mashing slightly with the back of a spoon to create a rustic mash. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Plate the lentil mash as a bed, place the seared salmon on top, and arrange the steamed asparagus on the side. Serve hot.
