Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a beautifully seared salmon fillet paired with tender roasted asparagus, accented by a touch of lemon and aromatic seasonings. This dish achieves a crisp exterior while keeping the salmon moist inside, complemented perfectly by the rustic, lightly charred asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
Dash of Garlic Powder
1 Lemon Wedge
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and a dash of garlic powder.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) in the hot skillet. Press lightly to ensure even contact with the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
Flip the salmon and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the flesh is just opaque and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with a little extra salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. You can roast them in a preheated 400°F oven for about 8-10 minutes or add them to the pan after the salmon is partially cooked if space allows.
Plate the salmon with the roasted asparagus on the side and garnish with a fresh lemon wedge to squeeze over the top before serving.
