INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil (for searing)
1 tsp Olive Oil (drizzle)
1 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Dill)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by rinsing the salmon fillet and patting it dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the fish is just cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the herbed brown rice. In a small saucepan, gently reheat the cooked brown rice with the butter and fresh herbs. Stir well to combine and allow the flavors to meld. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Steam the asparagus by placing it in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the skillet. Plate the salmon alongside a serving of herbed brown rice and steamed asparagus.
Drizzle the second teaspoon of olive oil over the asparagus for an extra touch of flavor. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
