Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon Zest
A light yet savory dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet topped with a vibrant burst of lemon zest, served alongside tender steamed asparagus. This dish delivers a delicate balance of flavors and textures while keeping the meal lean and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Salmon Fillet
6 spears Asparagus
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if it has skin) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fillet is just cooked through. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus spears until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and sprinkle the lemon zest over the salmon for a bright finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner.
