INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
1.5 cups Cooked Lentils
1 cup Asparagus
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
0.25 cup chopped Red Onion
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
While the salmon cooks, heat a separate pan over medium heat and add the chopped red onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Add the cooked lentils to the onions and garlic, stirring to combine. Let the mixture warm through for about 2 minutes.
Gently stir in the asparagus and lemon juice, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the asparagus is tender yet crisp. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Plate the lentil and asparagus pilaf, then top with the seared salmon fillet. Serve immediately and enjoy this protein-rich, nutrient-dense dinner.
