The dish features a perfectly seared 6 oz salmon fillet with a crisp exterior and moist, flaky interior, complemented by vibrant asparagus spears and a side of wholesome brown rice, creating a meal that's as nourishing as it is visually appealing.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by rinsing the salmon fillet and patting it dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if it has skin) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until cooked through yet still moist in the center.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus. Place asparagus spears in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover, and steam for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Prepare the brown rice as per package instructions if not already cooked (opt for the pre-cooked version for convenience).
Plate the seared salmon fillet alongside the steamed asparagus and a serving of brown rice. Optionally, drizzle a little extra olive oil or a squeeze of lemon over the top for an extra brightness.
