Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Garlic Mashed Cauliflower
Savor a beautifully seared salmon paired with tender steamed asparagus and a creamy garlic mashed cauliflower. The salmon is perfectly cooked to retain its natural flavors, while the mashed cauliflower gets a delightful tang from a hint of Greek yogurt and olive oil, making this dinner both nourishing and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 cup Cauliflower
2 tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt (nonfat)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry, then season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
For the garlic mashed cauliflower, chop the cauliflower into florets and steam until soft, approximately 8-10 minutes. In a bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, minced garlic (or gently mashed garlic), 2 tbsp of plain Greek yogurt, and 1 tsp olive oil. Mash until smooth with a few small chunks for texture. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and a generous serving of garlic mashed cauliflower. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed dinner.
