INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
8 Asparagus Spears
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 small Lemon
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and press gently to ensure even contact with the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until it reaches your preferred doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
While the salmon cooks, trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Toss the asparagus in a bowl with 1 tsp olive oil, the juice and zest of the lemon, and the minced garlic from one clove.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus. Drizzle any remaining pan juices or a bit extra lemon juice over the top for added brightness.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
