Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Garlic Herb Rice
A vibrant plate of seared salmon paired with tender steamed asparagus and a subtle garlic herb-infused rice. The salmon is perfectly seared to lock in its natural flavors, while the rice is light and fragrant, making it a well-balanced and appealing dinner choice.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz Salmon Fillet
8 Asparagus Spears
1/3 cup cooked White Rice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the salmon fillet lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon achieves a golden crust and is just cooked through.
Meanwhile, in a small pot, add the cooked white rice, remaining olive oil, a finely minced garlic clove, and chopped fresh parsley. Gently warm the rice over low heat to infuse the flavors. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
For the asparagus, bring a small amount of water to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the asparagus spears and steam for about 4-5 minutes or until they become tender yet crisp.
Plate the seared salmon, arrange the steamed asparagus on the side, and add a serving of garlic herb rice. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
