This dish balances rich, savory flavors with a refreshing burst of lemon and fresh herbs, creating a satisfying, restaurant-quality meal that's as nourishing as it is delicious.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Cooked Lentils
8 Spears Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
3 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the herbed lentil salad. In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils with minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and gently toss to combine.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Steam the asparagus spears for about 4-5 minutes until they’re tender yet still crisp. Drain well.
To plate, arrange a serving of herbed lentil salad on the plate, place the seared salmon fillet alongside, and add the steamed asparagus spears. Optionally garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley and a drizzle of lemon juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced, nutrient-rich dinner.
