Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lentil Mash
Enjoy a light and flavorful dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with vibrant, tender steamed asparagus and a hearty, protein-rich lentil mash. This dish marries the rich taste of salmon with a mildly earthy lentil side, rounded out with fresh asparagus for a nutritious and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the pan and drizzle with lemon juice.
While the salmon is cooking, steam the asparagus in a steamer or in a covered pan with a splash of water for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Gently warm the cooked lentils in a small pot, lightly mashing them with a fork for a smoother texture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if desired.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and lentil mash, and serve immediately.
