Crispy Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon Herb Brown Rice and Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a beautifully balanced plate featuring a perfectly crispy pan-seared salmon, accompanied by fragrant lemon herb brown rice and tender roasted asparagus. This dish offers a delightful mix of textures and flavors—from the crisp exterior of the salmon to the aromatic, zesty rice and the earthy asparagus—all while keeping the macros in check.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/3 cup cooked Brown Rice
6 spears Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
Juice from 1/2 Lemon
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Dill)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the salmon fillet with a pinch of salt, pepper, and half of the chopped fresh herbs. Set aside while you prepare the other components.
In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add the salmon fillet skin-side down and press gently for even contact. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Warm the pre-cooked brown rice in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the juice from half a lemon and the remaining fresh herbs to infuse a bright, zesty flavor.
Plate the dish by serving the lemon herb brown rice on one side, place the crispy salmon fillet next to it, and arrange the roasted asparagus alongside. Garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
