INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Cooked Lentils
8 spears Asparagus
2/3 tbsp Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.
Place the salmon fillet in the skillet and sear for about 4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let rest.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the asparagus with a little extra garlic (if desired), salt, and pepper until tender yet crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Warm the cooked lentils in a small pot over low heat and lightly mash them with a fork to create a rustic mash texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the lentil mash as a base, top with the seared salmon fillet, and arrange the garlic asparagus on the side.
Garnish with a lemon wedge for a bright finish. Squeeze lemon juice over the salmon just before serving.
