Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Enjoy a balanced dinner featuring tender, perfectly seared salmon paired with crisp steamed asparagus and a side of nutty brown rice. This dish offers a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that not only satisfies your palate but also meets your macro nutrition goals.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat one 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 until a golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus: trim the woody ends, place in a steamer basket over a pot with boiling water, cover, and steam for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Cook the brown rice according to package instructions, usually simmering 1/2 cup in water until tender (approximately 30 minutes if not pre-cooked). Alternatively, use pre-cooked brown rice to save time.
Plate the seared salmon on a serving dish alongside the steamed asparagus and a portion of brown rice. Optionally, drizzle a little extra olive oil or a squeeze of lemon for added flavor before serving.
