INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
2 cups Cauliflower
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the asparagus and prepare a medium pot for the cauliflower mash.
Toss the asparagus with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Meanwhile, prepare the cauliflower mash by steaming or boiling the cauliflower florets in a pot until soft, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
Drain the cauliflower and garlic, then transfer them to a blender or use an immersion blender. Add the remaining olive oil and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
While the vegetables are cooking, season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon, skin side down if applicable, for about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
Plate the dish by placing a generous scoop of garlic cauliflower mash, arrange the roasted asparagus on the side, and top with the perfectly seared salmon.
Finish off with a drizzle of nonfat Greek yogurt over the salmon or serve it as a side dipping sauce to enhance the overall creaminess and boost the protein content of the meal.
