INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus Spears
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 Lemon
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Rinse the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tsp of olive oil, sprinkle a little salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil.
Sear the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just opaque and flakes easily.
Remove both the salmon and asparagus from heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus just before serving.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and enjoy your nutritious, balanced dinner.
