Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon-Dill Brown Rice
Enjoy a beautifully seared salmon served atop a bed of zesty lemon-dill brown rice. The salmon is perfectly crisp on the outside while remaining tender and juicy, paired with the nutty, aromatic brown rice enhanced with a burst of lemon and fresh dill. This dish is balanced enough for dinner, combining vibrant flavors with a satisfying texture.
INGREDIENTS
1 salmon fillet (approximately 5 oz or 140g)
1/2 cup cooked brown rice (about 100g)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by rinsing and patting the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Place the salmon fillet in the pan, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the exterior is crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the brown rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer it to a bowl.
Mix in the lemon juice and chopped fresh dill into the warm brown rice, stirring gently to combine.
Plate a portion of the lemon-dill brown rice and top with the crispy pan-seared salmon. Garnish with extra dill or lemon wedges if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy a healthy, flavorful meal.
