INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup White Beans (canned, low sodium)
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil (for searing)
1 tbsp Extra Olive Oil (for bean mash)
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon is cooking, drain and rinse the white beans. Place them in a bowl along with a minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon of extra olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then mash until mostly smooth while leaving a few beans whole for texture.
Prepare the asparagus by trimming the woody ends. Steam the asparagus in a steamer or a covered pan with a splash of water for about 5-6 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Plate the creamy white bean mash as a base, top with the seared salmon, and arrange the steamed asparagus on the side. Drizzle a little extra lemon juice over the salmon if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, balanced dinner.
